Donald Trump has nominated Harmeet Dhillon, a notable pro-life attorney, to serve as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the Department of Justice. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump praised Dhillon for her career defending civil rights.
“Throughout her career, Harmeet has stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID, and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers,” he said. “Harmeet is one of the top Election lawyers in the Country, fighting to ensure that all, and ONLY, legal votes are counted. She is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia Law School, and clerked in the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Harmeet is a respected member of the Sikh religious community. In her new role at the DOJ, Harmeet will be a tireless defender of our Constitutional Rights, and will enforce our Civil Rights and Election Laws FAIRLY and FIRMLY.”

Dhillon was originally born in Chandigarh, India, before immigrating with her family to the United States as a child. She will be replacing Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, who has played a key role in the Biden administration’s crusade against pro-life activists. Dhillon, meanwhile, has been a long-time defender of the pro-life movement.
Dhillon worked with Live Action in the past regarding a free speech/censorship case, and she also represented undercover investigator David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) in a defamation suit against Planned Parenthood after the abortion giant claimed CMP engaged in “false,” “fake,” and “manufactured” reporting, even though analysis proved CMP’s videos were authentic and not manipulated.
In a statement published on X, Dhillon expressed her excitement about working in the Trump administration. “I’m extremely honored by President Trump’s nomination to assist with our nation’s civil rights agenda,” she said. “It has been my dream to be able to serve our great country, and I am so excited to be part of an incredible team of lawyers led by [Pam Bondi]. I cannot wait to get to work!”
