This Role and Reproductive Freedom
As assistant attorney general for civil rights, Harmeet Dhillon leads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, which works to uphold the civil and constitutional rights of all persons in the United States.
Harmeet Dhillon's Record on Reproductive Freedom
- Dhillon is a self-proclaimed anti-abortion advocate, referring to herself as a “lawyer for the pro-life movement.”
- She called the right to abortion access a “fake federal right,” claiming that abortion is “fundamentally different” compared to other fundamental rights, and repeatedly represented an anti-abortion organization in a series of lawsuits in which federal courts regularly sided against them.
- Dhillon’s anti-abortion views, combined with Trump’s pardons of those who violated the FACE Act, the DOJ’s recent FACE Act enforcement memo curtailing prosecutions under the FACE Act, and Project 2025’s language disparaging FACE Act enforcement, are ominous signs for how the DOJ will continue to handle this issue.
- Trump is packing his administration to the brim with extremists, and Harmeet Dhillon is no exception. Just like his other nominees, he knows he can count on her to carry out his dangerous agenda without question.
