A new spate of Justice Department officials quit because their section didn't want to probe Renee Good's shooting

At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section’s head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

Top leaders of the criminal section of the Civil Rights Division have left their jobs to register their frustration with the department after the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon decided not to investigate the ICE officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good last week.

The criminal section of the division would normally investigate any fatal shooting by a law enforcement officer and specializes in probing potential or alleged abuse or improper use of force by law enforcement.

The departures – including that of the chief of the section, as well as the principal deputy chief, deputy chief and acting deputy chief – represent the most significant mass resignation at the Justice Department since February. At that time, five leaders and supervisors of the department’s Public Integrity Section, which investigates public officials for possible corruption, resigned rather than comply with an appointee of Donald Trump’s orders to dismiss the bribery case against then-New York mayor Eric Adams.

    You’re proving the point that the courts work: just after DHHS blocked TANF funds to five Democratic states, a judge blocked it with a TRO:

    A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked the Trump administration from freezing roughly $10 billion in federal funding for child care and social services destined for five Democratic-led states, keeping funds flowing until a lawsuit against the government can progress. . . . The decision came less than a day after the five states targeted by the Trump administration — New York, California, Minnesota, Illinois and Colorado — filed a lawsuit arguing that the freeze could create havoc among families with young children.

    Outside SCOTUS the courts are holding, and moving quickly where warranted. You could easily have linked this information yourself, but chose not to. Stop spreading misinformation.

        It’s not an invalid assumption, it’s fact that you included only doomer, outdated news in order to support your wrong conclusion either a) without bothering to check to see if your information was correct, or b) you knew but decided not to mention it.

        If you don’t like false accusations then don’t make them. I know that I have zero respect for that approach to posting, and between that and the lazy doomering that’s enough of you for me to know. Blocked, bye.
