DOJ's Civil Rights Division sees a mass exodus of more than 100 employees.
"Rather than execute the Trump administration’s oppressive plans to weaponize the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division against political enemies, dozens of DOJ attorneys have chosen to walk off the job instead."
(The NY) "Times is reporting that 'hundreds' of DOJ employees aren’t sticking around to be pawns in Trump’s political game: Hundreds of lawyers and other staff members are leaving the Justice Department’s civil rights division, as veterans of the office say they have been driven out by Trump administration officials who want to drop its traditional work in order to aggressively pursue cases against the Ivy League, other schools and liberal cities."
"The Times added: The wave of departures has only accelerated in recent days, as the administration reopened its 'deferred resignation program,' which would allow employees to resign but continue to be paid for a period of time. The offer, for those who work in the division, expires on Monday. More than 100 lawyers are expected to take it, on top of a raft of earlier departures, in what would amount to a decimation of the ranks of a crucial part of the Justice Department."
