Raw Story

Nearly three-quarters of the attorneys working for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division are leaving in protest of President Donald Trump's policies.

Around 250 attorneys — 70 percent of the division's total — have already left since Trump returned to office or will have left the DOJ by the end of this month after the administration radically reshaped its mission to fight discrimination, and focused instead on enforcing the president's executive orders, reported NPR.

"The Civil Rights Division exists to enforce civil rights laws that protect all Americans," said Stacey Young, a former division attorneywho left the DOJ in late January. "It's not an arm of the White House. It doesn't exist to enact the president's own agenda. That's a perversion of the separation of powers and the role of an independent Justice Department."
