Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General who runs the Justice Departmentโ€™s Civil Rights Division, laid out what happened when the new leadership announced it would enforce the presidentโ€™s executive orders: โ€œ300 ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ๐˜ด ๐˜ฒ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ต. ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ง-๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ.โ€

The division is one of the largest at Main Justice, and she says ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ฒ๐ฌ. The mandate they walked away from, in her words: โ€œ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜‹๐˜Œ๐˜ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ท๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ท๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณโ€

Critics call the departures a purge of career staff. Dhillonโ€™s answer is that the lawyers chose the exit, and the American people voted for the agenda they wouldnโ€™t carry out. Voters hired a president to enforce these laws. Lawyers who refuse to do it are free to find other work.
