The Trump administration is seeing a wave of departures from the Justice Department's civil rights division, as employees resign rather than continue to work under the new leadership. The division, which traditionally protected the rights of marginalized communities, is now being used to enforce President Trump's agenda against state and local officials, college administrators, and student protesters. The departures have left the division with significantly fewer attorneys and support staff, and remaining employees are concerned about the chaotic work environment and uncertain leadership. Former division officials warn that the changes signal a broader transformation and will result in unchecked discrimination and constitutional violations.
