The destruction of the Justice Department is one of the biggest stories of the second Trump administration, with the appointment of Todd Blanche as acting attorney general following the firing of his former boss Pam Bondi. Blanche, who led a purge of the department, is fiercely loyal to Donald Trump and will guide his every decision. However, Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, is another key figure in the administration's anti-civil rights efforts. Dhillons, who has been a conservative activist since college, has been accused of using her power to attack universities for alleged antisemitism and enforce conservative demands to change curricula and police speech on campuses. She has also been linked to the anti-immigration policies of the most xenophobic administration in over a century.
