The head of the Justice Department's civil rights division has revised the mission statement to focus on enforcing President Trump's directives, including issues surrounding transgender participation in sports. Harmeet Dhillon, the new head of the division, has shifted the department's priorities towards investigating antisemitism and anti-Christian bias while seemingly neglecting its foundational role in combating race-based discrimination. This change is evidenced by the nullification of Biden-era agreements aimed at addressing racial disparities, emphasizing a pivot towards the president's cultural stance and away from environmental justice frameworks.
The revised mission statement reflects a shift in focus towards enforcing the president's agenda, prioritizing issues such as transgender participation in sports over traditional civil rights.
In a directive, Harmeet Dhillon emphasized that the division's resources should fully align with Trump's priorities, indicating a substantial change from the historical mission against race discrimination.
