<p dir="ltr">From defeating Biden&#8217;s COVID vaccine mandate to suing doctors who performed transgender surgeries on children, Harmeet Dhillon brings an established record of challenging government overreach and fighting for First Amendment rights ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dhillon, whom President Donald Trump tapped to be Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, is set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, where she will face questions from lawmakers about her legal experience and knowledge. Throughout her legal career, Dhillon has fought for free speech, religious liberty, and defended Trump when a group of leftist voters attempted to throw him off the ballot in Colorado.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’m extremely honored by President Trump’s nomination to assist with our nation’s civil rights agenda. It has been my dream to be able to serve our great country, and I am so excited to be part of an incredible team of lawyers led by [Attorney General Pam Bondi]. I cannot wait to get to work!” Dhillon said, adding, “I would not be here today without my amazing mother and brother’s support, and my beloved father Tejpal and husband Sarv, who did not live to see this day. I hope I will honor their memories, with God’s grace.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dhillon’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee will be livestreamed by The Daily Wire.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through her legal firms, the Dhillon Law Group and the Center for American Liberty, Dhillon has been involved in a number of impactful cases that have shaped the country over the last several years. <span style="font-weight: 400;">One of Dhillon’s former law partners, David Warrington, is currently serving as White House Counsel, a role he was appointed to after working as the general counsel for Trump&#8217;s 2024 presidential campaign.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">In November 2021, Dhillon <a href="https://www.dhillonlaw.com/lawsuits/the-daily-wire-challenges-biden-administration-vaccine-mandate/">represented</a> The Daily Wire in the legal fight that led to the Supreme Court blocking the Biden administration from enforcing a COVID vaccine mandate for private employers. With Dhillon’s help, The Daily Wire became the first major company to file a lawsuit against the emergency mandate in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fighting more COVID overreach, the Dhillon Law Group and the Center for American Liberty defended a coalition of congregants from three Christian churches in Southern California that sued California Governor Gavin Newsom over restrictions on religious services he imposed as part of his COVID crackdown. The Christians argued that Newsom was being harsher on religious groups than he was on certain businesses.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That case also made its way to the Supreme Court, which sided in February 2021 with the churches. The case was later settled.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dhillon also represented Trilochan Oberoi, a Sikh man who sued the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in California for discriminating against his religious beliefs, which include not cutting his hair or shaving his beard. He was prevented from working as a prison guard if he insisted on keeping his beard. Dhillon successfully compelled the defendant to hire Oberoi, make an accommodation for his Sikh religious beliefs, and pay him a $295,000 settlement. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, Dhillon sued the president of the University of California school system, Janet Napolitano, on behalf of the Young America’s Foundation and the Berkeley College Republicans, who accused UC Berkeley of restricting the free speech rights of conservatives through its guest speaker policies. The conservative groups alleged that the college had implemented certain high-profile speaker policies that disproportionately impacted their ability to bring speakers to campus and allowed leftists to exercise a “heckler’s veto” over controversial speakers.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The university agreed to end security fees for speakers invited by student groups, implement First Amendment training for administrators, and provide universal guidelines for event planning. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr">In recent years, Dhillon has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/detransitioner-chloe-cole-announces-official-lawsuit-against-kaiser-permanente-for-medical-negligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">waded into</a> the battle against radical transgender ideology. She sued a group of health systems, including the Kaiser Foundation, and doctors for medical malpractice on behalf of Chloe Cole, a woman who was put on cross-sex hormone therapy and had her breasts removed because she identified as male as a teenager.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Chloe’s family sought medical treatment for her at Kaiser,” Dhillon said at the time. “Her physicians and other medical professionals violated the first norm of the profession, the Hippocratic Oath, when, instead of caring for her and providing medically competent diagnoses and treatment, they permanently disfigured her for profit.”</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dhillon has worked for Trump in the past, defending him after a group of Colorado voters attempted to kick him off the ballot, claiming that he had violated the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment and was ineligible for office. The Supreme Court unanimously sided with Trump and ruled that he must be allowed to stay on the ballot.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">In his announcement that he had picked Dhillon for the role, Trump said that she would be “a tireless defender of our Constitutional Rights.”</p>
