Why it matters now: This is a direct rollback of a long-used civil rights enforcement theory aimed at structural inequality, not just overt bias. That hiring reflects a deliberate buildout of legal capacity at a moment when federal enforcement priorities are shifting. Why it matters now: The fight over ballot access is intensifying, and civil rights groups are preparing for sustained courtroom battles. The Justice Department also opened a civil rights investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti after protests intensified.
