This is such a sick perversion of a storied institution.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division was created to protect the rights of the politically disempowered. Under the leadership of Harmeet K. Dhillon, a lawyer and MAGA-world star, the division is pivoting to knocking down gun restrictions.
