President Trump is swiftly transforming the Justice Department, initiating a purge of officials tied to past investigations. This evolution raises concerns among career officials and experts about the integrity of the department, as actions go beyond typical presidential reshaping. Reassignments of experienced lawyers and a freeze on certain cases indicate a focused pivot towards immigration enforcement, sidelining other critical areas like environmental protection and civil rights. Critics argue that these moves threaten the DOJ's independence and commitment to justice.
President Trump is making clear that he does not intend to hold polluters accountable for exposing communities across America to harmful pollution.
This is dreadful mistreatment by the Trump administration of career public servants.
Actions hit at the Justice Department's impartiality and independence in enforcing the law.
Such steps go far beyond the regular moves by a president to reshape an agency to his priorities.
