Harmeet Dhillon’s decision to step down as the CEO of the Center for American Liberty to accept her new role as an assistant attorney general is one of mixed emotions, but it’s the right move, she said.

President Donald Trump chose Dhillon, who is known for championing parental rights, to lead the civil rights division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Dhillon was confirmed on April 3.
