Where it stands

Under Harmeet Dhillon, the Civil Rights Division has redirected its enforcement priorities and changed its staffing; current and former officials say investigations have been dropped and federal participation withdrawn from dozens of cases. The report describes a dispute over whether this is a change in enforcement approach or a loss of capacity and commitment to protect people from discrimination; no reversal or replacement direction is reported.
