Harmeet Dhillon resigned Thursday as assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Justice Department. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that he accepted the resignation and thanked her for her public service. Dhillon, who had led the division since April 2025, told Fox News she was not asked to resign, and that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles asked her to wait until after the midterm elections to step down. Her departure came after Democrats won control of the House and Senate in the midterms.
