The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a memo to its civil rights division, directing a halt to all ongoing litigation initiated by the Biden administration and prohibiting the pursuit of new cases or settlements. The memo, reported by The Washington Post, instructs the temporary head of the division to ensure that no new complaints, motions, or statements are filed.
The freeze, effective until President Trump's nominee for DOJ leadership, Harmeet Dhillon, is confirmed by the Senate, aims to align the government's legal stance and allow new appointees to decide on future cases.
