YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump's Department of Justice doesn't give a damn about Black people.
The Department of Justice's voting rights section has been gutted by Trump appointees, raising major alarm about the future of federal voting rights enforcement.
Less than a month after Trump ally Harmeet Dhillon took over the civil rights division, all senior career managers in the voting section, including Chief Tamar Hagler, were removed from their roles and reassigned to low-level positions. Attorneys were also ordered to dismiss every active voting rights case without explanation or meetings.
This voting section is responsible for enforcing federal laws that protect against voter discrimination, especially as states pass more restrictive voting measures. The new leadership has shifted the division's focus from protecting marginalized communities and advancing Trump's priorities.
