Harmeet Dhillon resigned as Department of Justice assistant attorney general heading the Civil Rights Division Second Amendment section. She informed White House chief of staff Susie Wiles three weeks before Election Day that her assigned work was finished and she intended to resume private practice, after which Wiles asked her to remain until the midterms ended. Dhillon submitted the resignation on November 5 and was not asked to leave. Attorney General Todd Blanche accepted it the same day and cited her 18 months leading the division while defending civil liberties and applying the law evenly. Under her leadership the section sued Montgomery County in Maryland, Los Angeles County, California, Virginia, Colorado and Denver, the Virgin Islands, and San Jose over concealed-carry limits, bans on common firearms and magazines, permit delays, high application costs, and a liability-insurance rule.
