Approximately 70% of the Justice Department�s Civil Rights Division is
expected to accept a second offer to federal workers that allows them to
resign from their positions and be paid through September, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The division employs roughly 340 people, who had until Monday night to
accept the offer. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who oversees
the Civil Rights Division, said over the weekend that more than 100
attorneys had accepted the offer, but the final number is expected to be
well over 200.
The mass exodus comes as the division is being converted into a unit that prioritizes the Trump administration�s goals like dismantling diversity,
equity and inclusion initiatives, reversing policies on transgender
rights, and combating antisemitism.
CNN previously reported the division, which typically goes dormant during Republican administrations, would be one of the most active and important
at the Trump Justice Department.
The Justice Department did not comment to CNN on the resignations.
Dhillon told conservative commentator Glenn Beck on his podcast over the weekend, �En masse, dozens and now over 100 attorneys decided that they�d rather not do what their job requires them to do.�
