President Donald Trump’s new appointee to the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice has uncovered a stunningly simple way to clear out the “woke” ideologists from the department: Tell them to do their job.
The new chief, Harmeet Dhillon, has just explained the process to broadcaster Glenn Beck.
Is there a “bloodbath” in the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division? @AAGDhillon tells me: “The job here is to enforce the federal civil rights laws, not woke ideology. We need to replace those people.” pic.twitter.com/vKoW3olLTE

A PJMedia report said she explained the “resistance” in the department’s different divisions are “self-deporting.”
The report noted the DOJ “was full” of “ideologues,” “entitled, leftist, wannabe lawyers” who keep coming out of law schools and ending up as “government lawyers.”
“Goodness knows the DOJ was full of those lawyers starting with the Obama administration and through the Biden no-hold-barred attacks on civil liberties. Trump 45 never had a chance,” the report said.
But when she took over only weeks ago, Dhillon explained that the job of the lawyers in the department is to protect civil rights, and that would include targeting anti-Semitism and anti-Christian discrimination.
They also are to “dismantle the notoriously racist diversity, equity and inclusion” agenda.
“Govern yourself accordingly,” they were told.
So far, about 100 of the 340 lawyers in the division have opted to leave, taking a buyout package that runs through September.
“No one has been fired by me since I came,” Dhillon confirmed.
But, “en masse, dozens and now over 100 attorneys decided they’d rather not do what the job requires them to do and I think that’s fine because we don’t want people in the federal government who feel like it’s their pet project to go persecute, you know, police departments based on statistical evidence, or persecute people praying outside abortion facilities instead of doing violence.”
“That’s not the job here. The job here is to enforce the federal civil rights laws, not woke ideology.”
She said replacements will be needed to support her “very robust affirmative civil rights agenda.”
The “bugout,” the report said, came “The minute Dhillon announced that the First Amendment rights of religious freedom would be protected and antisemitism would be targeted.”
