President Donald Trump's new appointee to the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice has uncovered a stunningly simple way to clear out the "woke" ideologists from the department: Tell them to do their job.
The new chief, Harmeet Dhillon, has just explained the process to broadcaster Glenn Beck.
A PJMedia report said she explained the "resistance" in the department's different divisions are "self-deporting."
The report noted the DOJ "was full" of "ideologues," "entitled, leftist, wannabe lawyers" who keep coming out of law schools and ending up as "government lawyers."
"Goodness knows the DOJ was full of those lawyers starting with the Obama administration and through the Biden no-hold-barred attacks on civil liberties. Trump 45 never had a chance," the report said.
But when she took over only weeks ago, Dhillon explained that the job of the lawyers in the department is to protect civil rights, and that would include targeting anti-Semitism and anti-Christian discrimination.
They also are to "dismantle the notoriously racist diversity, equity and inclusion" agenda.
"Govern yourself accordingly," they were told.
So far, about 100 of the 340 lawyers in the division have opted to leave, taking a buyout package that runs through September.
"No one has been fired by me since I came," Dhillon confirmed.
But, "en masse, dozens and now over 100 attorneys decided they'd rather not do what the job requires them to do and I think that's fine because we don't want people in the federal government who feel like it's their pet project to go persecute, you know, police departments based on statistical evidence, or persecute people praying outside abortion facilities instead of doing violence."
"That's not the job here. The job here is to enforce the federal civil rights laws, not woke ideology."
She said replacements will be needed to support her "very robust affirmative civil rights agenda."
The "bugout," the report said, came "The minute Dhillon announced that the First Amendment rights of religious freedom would be protected and antisemitism would be targeted."

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has warned "doctors" who have been doing various body mutilations on children to stop.
"I am putting medical practitioners, hospitals, and clinics on notice: In the United States, it is a felony to perform, attempt to perform, or conspire to perform female genital mutilation ('FGM') on any person under the age of 18. That crime carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years per count," Bondi said.
A report from NBC explained she directed U.S. attorneys to use those laws to investigate doctors who "mutilate" children under the guise of "care."
Transgender activists across the country repeatedly have claimed that body mutilations on children, as long as it's called "gender-affirming care" under that ideology, actually is a good thing.
Mat Staver, the chief of Liberty Counsel which has fought some of the battles on the issue of transgenderism, explained, "These common sense directives will help protect children from the harmful and often irreversible gender interventions caused by the false gender ideology.
"They will also help hold accountable those who hurt children in this way. The insanity of this ideology and greed in the medical community has monetized the act of mutilating children and adults into a billion-dollar industry. Through President Trump's executive order and this memorandum, the federal government can now return to sound science and promote treating these mental health issues with proven psychiatric therapies to heal rather than harm. Now, it is up to the federal and state legislatures to pass laws that protect children from medical mutilation."
Bondi also directed the Consumer Protection Branch of the DOJ's Civil Division "to investigate potential violations of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by drug manufacturers and distributors who engage 'in misbranding by making false claims about the on- or off-label use of puberty blockers, sex hormones, or any other drug used to facilitate' a minor's gender transition," the report said.
Physicians will be investigated under the False Claims Act if they submit for reimbursement for services related to "gender experimentation" that is not covered by federal programs.
Robin Maril, an assistant professor of constitutional law in Oregon, told the network it still is legal for doctors to perform those body modifying surgeries in states where such "care" remains legal, and charged that the announcement is meant "to have a chilling effect" on what she called "necessary care."
Leftist medical organizations, prominently the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Psychological Association, all have claimed to support "transition-related care" for minors.
The industry, of course, is lucrative for physicians and suppliers involved.
Liberty Counsel reported the directives "align under President Donald Trump's January executive order that withdraws all federal funding for puberty blockers, hormones, or irreversible mutilating surgeries for minors, and directs rigorous enforcement of all laws to protect children from these destructive and life-altering procedures."
Bondi said the ideology has been pushed on Americans by those who "deny biological reality."
Following the science, no one can change from male to female or vice versa because being male or female is embedded in the body down to the DNA level.
Bondi said the ideology has been pushed by "the Biden administration, the medical community, Hollywood, legacy mass media, children's books, and public schools," the report said.
"This gender ideology is just 'junk science' that steers children to 'process adolescent stress and confusion' as 'mistaken identity,' and that the only solution is permanent and life-altering chemical and surgical interventions," AG Bondi wrote.
She noted how Biden 'personally advanced" the beliefs by going to court against state-level protections for children.
He also appointed "Rachel" Levine, a man who portrayed himself as a woman, as Assistant Secretary of Health.
The attorney general, in fact, noted how "politically captured profiteers" were taking advantage of families and children.
"These 'professionals' have deployed junk science and false claims about the effects of so-called 'gender-affirming care' to justify the barbaric practice of surgically and chemically maiming and sterilizing children. Between 2019 and 2023, an estimated 14,000 children received 'treatment' for gender dysphoria, with more than 5,700 subjected to life-altering surgeries. The practitioners who provided this so-called 'care' profited while their patients were left permanently disfigured, scarred, and sterilized."

There already have been a lot of suspicions expressed that the fundraising giant ActBlue, which has delivered billions of dollars to leftists in the Democrat party, has been stepping outside the law.
In fact, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chief of the House Oversight Committee, already has confirmed that, "We're investigating ActBlue the same way we investigated the Bidens. … We're starting with the suspicious activity reports — bank violations that flag financial crimes. And let me tell you, the evidence is overwhelming."
There have been claims of money-laundering, massive piles of cash being funneled from overseas into Democrat campaigns, and more.
Now it looks like some answered could be coming.
A report at the Washington Examiner confirms President Donald Trump is signing a memorandum calling for a crackdown on "straw donors" and foreign money in American campaigns.
The publication said it obtained a fact sheet that instructs Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and "take appropriate action" on allegations about the organization, which even has been accused of taking contributions from terrorists.
Specifically the review is to cover illegal "straw" or "dummy" contributions, the report said.
It cites congressional investigations that documented "significant fraud schemes" involving ActBlue and donations made through the organization just ahead of the 2024 election that came "from foreign internet protocol addresses using prepaid cards" that could involve illegal behavior.
The payment processor is used by Democrats at multiple ranks and is credited with having processed more than $16 billion in donations to leftists.
It fell into disarray, however, this year, the report said, when the New York Times "reported on March 5 that at least seven senior staffers resigned in late February, including its top legal officer. The reason for the exodus is not yet known."
Republicans have charged that it accepted donations on credit cards without verification, raising the risk of fraud. And it allows contributions through PayPal, Google Pay, or Venmo, and other payments forms that cannot be traced.

Trump's fact sheet said he is "taking action to address malign actors and foreign nationals who seek to illegally influence American elections, undermining the integrity of our electoral process."
Several attorneys general from states also have begun investigating.
Earlier, the Gateway Pundit published a transcript of an interview with Benny Johnson in which Comer "laid out a damning case against the far-left fundraising juggernaut, accusing it of funneling billions in suspicious cash – potentially from foreign adversaries – into Democrat coffers under the guise of 'grassroots' donations."
The report said the investigation is being accompanied by "chaos" inside ActBlue, where "key executives are resigning, lawyers are jumping ship, employees are getting locked out of their computers…."
Johnson, a conservative commentator, pointed out, "When the lawyers flee, you know you're cooked."
Comer's committee actually started investigating "after discovering a flood of small-dollar donations from untraceable sources, many from elderly Americans who were unaware their names were being used to funnel cash into the Democrat machine," the report said.
Comer said his work had been obstructed under the Joe Biden administration by his appointee, Janet Yellen, who "would not reply to my request" for information about "suspicious activity reports."
One of those circumstances, evidence has shown, was an 80-year-old woman living in a rent-controlled apartment in Virginia who had made 22,619 donations in 500 days – totaling more than $800,000.

A Democrat judge in New Mexico has resigned after authorities found an alleged member of the violent Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela living in his home, and now the state Supreme Court has ruled he'll never be a judge again.
And can never be a candidate for a judicial office. And can never exercise any judicial authority, not even officiate at weddings.
A Fox News report confirms that an order has come from the high court in the case of Joel Cano.
Cano, the ruling said, "can never hold a judicial office again, be a candidate for a judicial office, and cannot exercise any judicial authority in the state, including officiating at weddings," according to an official for the state court system.
The justices had been scheduled to hear evidence in disciplinary action against Cano, but with the order, the case was ended, and the hearing was canceled.
WND had reported earlier on the discovery of the alleged gang member.
Cano, who formerly was a magistrate judge in Doña Ana County, reported submitted a resignation letter dated March 3. But officials said it was not received by court officials until March 31.
Homeland Security investigators in Las Cruces had started looking into Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a native of Venezuela described as an illegal alien "and a suspected member of a criminal gang."
The allegations included that he was living with other gang members and "in possession of firearms."
Then, two search warrants were executed at a home that was identified as owned by Cano's wife, Nancy Cano.
"Ortega-Lopez and his roommates were taken into custody, and agents 'seized four firearms from April Cano's residence.' April Cano is the daughter of Nancy and Joel, court documents state," according to the report.
Further, Ortega-Lopez had posed on social media with various weapons, the report said.
The suspect admitted he entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico in 2023, and was living in an El Paso apartment with others when he met Nancy Cano "to install a glass door for her," the report said.
When he was later evicted from the apartment, the report said, Nancy Cano offered a place for him to live in the back of the home she shared with husband Joel Cano, the report said.
Property records show the home is owned by Nancy and Jose Cano, "who goes by Joel."

Police in Minneapolis are expressing their anger that, after they investigated vandalism done to multiple Tesla cars, identified a perpetrator and provided all the evidence, the local prosecutor is refusing to file criminal charges.
The case involves Dylan Bryan Adams, an aide to Gov Tim Walz, who was caught on video damaging the cars, apparently part of a nationwide wave of people deciding to vandalize other citizens' vehicles because they dislike the car company owner, Elon Musk, who is working with President Donald Trump to find fraud, corruption and waste in the federal government and remove it.
A statement from police said, "The Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same."
A report in the Gateway Pundit turned blunt, explaining, "Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not seek criminal charges for the Tim Walz staffer who vandalized at least six Teslas in Minnesota, causing $20,000 in damage."
Instead, officials in the office for the leftist-funded leftist prosecutor said they will seek a "diversion" in the case.
A spokesman said, "Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable. As a result, we will file for pre-charge diversion to best facilitate both of those goals."
Previously reported was that Adams, a fiscal policy analyst for Walz, "was captured on vehicle surveillance footage allegedly dragging a key across the exteriors of several Teslas, stripping paint and causing thousands of dollars in damage."

An Easter family dinner turned into a nightmare for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, as she was robbed of at least $3,000 at a Washington, D.C., restaurant despite having Secret Service protection.
"The thief got away with Noem's driver's license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash," CNN reported.
Noem confirmed the incident with reporters at Monday's White House Easter Egg Roll, saying the matter is still unresolved.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin also confirmed the incident in an email to DailyMail.com and indicated the robbery occurred while Noem was out celebrating Easter dinner with her family.
"Her entire family was in town, including her children and grandchildren – she was using the withdrawal to treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts," McLaughlin said.
Cristina Laila at the Gateway Pundit called it "an appalling security breach."
CBS News indicates: "Noem was dining at The Capital Burger, a popular and busy locale near D.C.'s downtown. Her purse was placed against her foot underneath her seat, according to two sources."
A law-enforcement source told CNN the Secret Service reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask snatch her bag before leaving the restaurant.
The agency has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem's financial instruments, the person added.
Earlier Sunday, Noem shared a family photo online, saying: "Happy Easter! Wishing Christians around the country joyful celebrations for the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. He is risen!"

Many in America's government, along with those in the highly profitable pharmaceutical industry, insisted at the time, and some even insist, that COVID-19 was a natural variation of a bat virus that came out of a Wuhan, China, "wet market" and infected people.
Ultimately, millions of people around the world died, and trillions of dollars were lost economically. Even now, the side effects of the often-injurious mRNA shots are harming people, with consequences such as heart failure.
The government at that time, as President Donald Trump's first term was ending and Joe Biden was taking over White House operations, claimed that only the new shots could be used, that other medications like hydroxychloroquine, which was proven effective against COVID, should not be allowed.
One of the results was billions of dollars going to the makers of the new shots.
But now the White House has exploded the COVID myths pushed by officials and authorities with a new report.
It states bluntly that:
"The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics, where there were multiple spillover events. Wuhan is home to China's foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels. Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market. By nearly all measures of science, if there were evidence of a natural origin, it would have already surfaced. But it hasn't."
Further, much of the so-called "science" that was used to justify the theory that it came from a wet market, rather than the much more likely leak from the Wuhan lab, came from a report, "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," a document the White House charges "was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory."
It actually was "prompted" by Anthony Fauci, now retired from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The report confirms, "A lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin of COVID-19. Current government mechanisms for overseeing this dangerous gain-of-function research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack global applicability."
Further pointing to the lab, the report said, "EcoHealth — under the leadership of Dr. Peter Daszak — used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. After the Select Subcommittee released evidence of EcoHealth violating the terms of its National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) commenced official debarment proceedings and suspended all funding to EcoHealth. New evidence also shows that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened an investigation into EcoHealth's pandemic-era activities."
It's also because of failures by the National Institutes of Health, "NIH's procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious threat to both public health and national security. Further, NIH fostered an environment that promoted evading federal record-keeping laws…"
The information has taken years to surface because of multiple layers of "obstruction," the report charges.
"The Biden Administration's HHS engaged in a multi-year campaign of delay, confusion, and non-responsiveness in an attempt to obstruct the Select Subcommittee's investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public health officials. It appears that HHS even intentionally under-resourced its component that responds to legislative oversight requests," the White House page charges.
Also, "Daszak obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation by providing publicly available information, instructing his staff to reduce the scope and pace of productions, and doctoring documents before releasing them to the public. Further, Dr. Daszak provided false statements to Congress."
That agenda was aided by David Morens, a senior adviser to Fauci, who, the statement charges, "deliberately obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation, likely lied to Congress on multiple occasions, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records, and shared nonpublic information about NIH grant processes with EcoHealth President Dr. Peter Daszak."
The details provided by the White House were sourced from the "House Oversight Committee website, a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability in the U.S. House of Representatives."
It continued with blame for others, including the World Health Organization, which is charged with its "abject failure" to respond, "because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China's political interests ahead of its international duties. Further, the WHO's newest effort to solve the problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic — via a 'Pandemic Treaty' — may harm the United States."
That infamous "social distancing" requirement to keep six feet apart? It "sort of just appeared," according to Fauci's closed-door testimony, and was based on no science at all, but still was used to "shut down schools and small businesses across the country."
Also, "There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19. Public health officials flip-flopped on the efficacy of masks without providing Americans scientific data, causing a massive uptick in public distrust."
And there were those lockdowns, which not only "forced millions of Americans to forgo crucial elements of a healthy and financially sound life," but also "caused immeasurable harm to … the mental and physical health of Americans."
Case in point was New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's orders that forced nursing homes to accept seniors who had tested positive for COVID-19, and who were put in populations where the virus could be spread.
That was, the report confirms, "medical malpractice."
"Evidence shows that Mr. Cuomo and his administration worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of their policy decisions in an apparent effort to shield themselves from accountability."
Oddly, Fauci, whose net worth grew by millions of dollars during the pandemic, was given a presidential pardon by Joe Biden before his term in the White House ended. It was "for any offenses" that he "may have committed" against the United States.

'The administration's actions continue to disregard the fundamental American freedom to speak without government control or retaliation'
The ongoing battle between the Trump administration and the Associated Press is heating up again as the White House has reportedly decided to completely eliminate a press-pool slot specifically reserved for wire services covering the president's daily actions.
The Hill reports: "A source in the West Wing confirmed the changes to The Hill on Tuesday evening and said moving forward, the press pool will be made up of the following group: one print journalist who will serve as the 'print pooler' each day, one additional print journalist, a crew from one of the major television networks, a crew from a secondary television network or streaming service, one radio journalist, one 'new media' or independent journalist and four photojournalists."
In addition to AP, Reuters and Bloomberg are news wire services.
As WorldNetDaily reported last week, a federal judge ordered the White House to restore AP access to the Oval Office and other spaces after President Trump banned the news agency's reporters for their continued use of the previous Gulf of Mexico name for the Gulf of America.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ordered access for the AP into the Oval Office, Air Force One and other limited spaces when available to other members of the media pool.
"Under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists – be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere – it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints," McFadden wrote.
The Hill noted of the new protocol: "The White House official said eligible outlets will be chosen for the pool on a rotating basis, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will retain day-to-day discretion to determine composition of the pool.
"Wire-based outlets will be eligible for selection as part of the pool's daily print-journalist rotation as part of the shake-up, but they will no longer have a permanent slot in the group.
"The official said outlets will be eligible for participation in the pool, 'irrespective of the substantive viewpoint expressed by an outlet.'"
AP spokeswoman Lauren Easton said the wire service was "deeply disappointed" over the new restrictions.
"The wire services represent thousands of news organizations across the U.S. and the world over," she said. "Our coverage is used by local newspapers and television stations in all 50 states to inform their communities.
"The administration's actions continue to disregard the fundamental American freedom to speak without government control or retaliation. This is a grave disservice to the American people."
NBC correspondent and former White House Correspondents' Association President Kelly O'Donnell blasted the latest White House decision.
"Wire reporters are among the most knowledgeable and dedicated to the White House beat," she said on X.
"They are on duty every day of the year and anywhere in the world needed to cover a president. Their work is a key building block for other media's work. Wires fill a critical role in the public's understanding of government and important events."

It's one thing to see a lab full of nonthinking human bodies created by some "mad scientist" on a late-night movie; it's another to consider the plan actually being reality.
But that's just what several writers of an article at Technology Review have proposed.
A report at the Christian Institute bluntly explained, "Academics at Stanford University have proposed the creation of 'brain-dead humans' in order to harvest their organs for transplant and research."
The authors at Technology Review are Carsten T. Charlesworth, Henry T. Greely, and Hiromitsu Nakauchi, and they claim making "bodyoids" now can happen, scientifically, and even could be accomplished "without crossing most people's ethical lines."
The benefits they claim? An end to a shortage of organs for donation and no more need to do testing on animals to produce treatments.
"Although it may seem like science fiction, recent technological progress has pushed this concept into the realm of plausibility," they claim, even while conceding, "It may be disturbing to characterize human bodies in such commodifying terms, but the unavoidable reality is that human biological materials are an essential commodity in medicine."
And while the idea is "grotesque or appalling" to many, they claim it's not just scientifically possible, it's plausible enough to justify discussing the technical aspects and the ethics involved.
Peter J. Colosi, associate professor of philosophy at Salve Regina University, said, "You, as the person who you are, exist even when you are not conscious, and this means that other human beings who are not conscious could also do that."
And Heidi Klessig, author of The Brain Death Fallacy, described the concept as "unconscionable" and called for an end to such "morally abhorrent attempts to purposely bioengineer neurologically impaired human clones as a source of 'spare parts.'"
At Technology Review, the trio wrote, "Recent advances in biotechnology now provide a pathway to producing living human bodies without the neural components that allow us to think, be aware, or feel pain. Many will find this possibility disturbing, but if researchers and policymakers can find a way to pull these technologies together, we may one day be able to create 'spare' bodies, both human and nonhuman."
They explained, "Pluripotent stem cells, one of the earliest cell types to form during development, can give rise to every type of cell in the adult body. Recently, researchers have used these stem cells to create structures that seem to mimic the early development of actual human embryos. At the same time, artificial uterus technology is rapidly advancing, and other pathways may be opening to allow for the development of fetuses outside of the body.
"Such technologies, together with established genetic techniques to inhibit brain development, make it possible to envision the creation of 'bodyoids'—a potentially unlimited source of human bodies, developed entirely outside of a human body from stem cells, that lack sentience or the ability to feel pain."
They admit there are unknowns.
"We do not know whether the embryo models recently created from stem cells could give rise to living people or, thus far, even to living mice. We do not know when, or whether, an effective technique will be found for successfully gestating human bodies entirely outside a person. We cannot be sure whether such bodyoids can survive without ever having developed brains or the parts of brains associated with consciousness, or whether they would still serve as accurate models for living people without those brain functions."
And it might not be practical.
They claim the "bodyoids" would be like research cadavers, not being "legally, a living human being."
A report at LifeSiteNews said, "The article is clearly written in the spirit of the ends justifying the means. In their call for action, the authors conclude, 'Caution is warranted, but so is bold vision; the opportunity is too important to ignore.'
"On the contrary, the value of every human being is what is too important to ignore. We value and protect every person because they are made in the image of God, regardless of the way they were brought into the world. Using unconscious people as research subjects is wrong, both in the case of brain-injured people declared 'legally dead' (under the logical fallacy of brain death), and also with this new proposal for bioengineering human clones."

The president of El Salvador scorched members of the news media Monday for suggesting he release a suspected member of the MS-13 gang back to the United States.
"The question is preposterous," said Nayib Bukele during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States."
"How can I return him to the United States?" he added. "Of course, I'm not gonna do it."
When asked directly if he could release Kilmar Abrego Garcia inside El Salvador, Bukele replied: "Yeah, but I'm not really fond of releasing terrorists into our country. We just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere, and you want us to go back into releasing criminals so we can go back into being the murder capital of the world? That's not gonna ever happen."
Trump added to Bukele's disdain of the media, noting: "They'd love to have a criminal released into our country. They would love it. They're sick. These are sick people."
Earlier Monday, Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, explained in detail how Garcia was given a final deportation order in 2019, and since he is a citizen of El Salvador, that is the country where he should remain.
