Under Trump, Justice Department's Civil Rights Division shifted focus to align with executive orders, altering priorities and personnel.

Under President Trump, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division has undergone major changes, led by Trump appointee Harmeet Dhillon. The division has shifted its focus away from traditional civil rights enforcement to prioritize Trump's executive orders, such as banning transgender athletes from women's sports and addressing perceived indoctrination in schools. Many career managers have been reassigned or resigned, leading to a significant overhaul of the division's priorities and personnel.
