Trump has picked conservative lawyer Harmeet Dhillon to move up the civil rights division on the Division of Justice and this alternative was not a coincidence.
Silicon Valley investor Marc Andreesen, who grew to become a Trump supporter throughout this election cycle, not too long ago described how Dhillon will aggressively go after woke DEI (range, fairness, and inclusion) insurance policies within the company world and academia.
Andreesen even means that the writing is on the wall and that some companies are already making huge modifications in anticipation of Dhillon’s arrival in Washington.
Partial transcript through Kanekoa the Nice on Twitter/X:
“The Justice Division’s Civil Rights Division is the federal authorities’s prosecutorial arm that principally enforces wokeness. They’re those who’ve ensured that, for the final decade, these firms have had all these loopy insurance policies beneath the penalty of being investigated, subpoenaed, and finally prosecuted.”
“Probably the most well-known case that the present head of the Civil Rights division introduced was the case in opposition to SpaceX for not hiring sufficient refugees—however that SpaceX is a army contractor and isn’t permitted to rent non-Americans beneath a separate legislation.”
“Dhillon is sensible, and he or she’s the precise reverse of that.”
“Each sign is being despatched that they’re going to do a 180 on all this stuff, they usually’re going to start prosecuting firms for violations of civil rights legal guidelines within the type of reverse discrimination—discrimination in opposition to white individuals, Asians, Jews, and different unprotected lessons.”
“I feel each main company within the nation is simply in flagrant violation of precise civil rights legislation. You can not have these arduous quotas and racially, ethnically, and religiously biased hiring practices. It’s flat-out unlawful.”

Amuse on Substack not too long ago commented on this:
The timing of Dhillon’s appointment couldn’t be extra consequential. The Supreme Court docket’s latest choice banning race-based admissions in non-public universities gives a potent judicial backdrop for her efforts. This ruling has already reverberated throughout the tutorial world, forcing establishments to desert longstanding affirmative motion insurance policies. Dhillon’s mandate extends this precept to company America, the place firms’ DEI initiatives regularly cross into outright racial and gender quotas—practices that Andreessen bluntly calls “mass illegality.”
For Dhillon, the technique is evident: prosecute those that violate the legislation and incentivize voluntary compliance. “In case you don’t need to be a goal, it’s an important ‘get out of jail free’ card to voluntarily shut all these things down,” Andreessen explains. Already, indicators of this shift are evident. Main companies like Boeing and educational establishments just like the College of Michigan have begun scaling again or outright dismantling their DEI applications, anticipating heightened scrutiny from Dhillon’s DOJ.
Dhillon was the proper alternative for this job. She is sensible, sturdy, and is aware of the legislation inside and outside.
