"Investigating officials to determine if they broke the law, defied policy, failed to de-escalate, and resorted to deadly force without basis is one of the Civil Rights Division's most solemn duties,"
"any suggestion to the contrary is false."
Four senior leaders in the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division resigned after the administration announced that the Division would not investigate the fatal shooting of queer mother Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon declined to open an investigation hours after Ross shot Good three times through her car's side window. The departing officials included the chief of the criminal section, the principal deputy chief, the deputy chief, and the acting deputy chief. The DOJ characterized the departures as early retirements and denied alternative characterizations. The resignations follow a prior mass departure from the Public Integrity Section over a directive to drop charges.
