Trump’s new Justice Department leadership orders a freeze on civil rights cases
SUMMARY: President Trump’s new Justice Department leadership has imposed a freeze on civil rights litigation and is reconsidering police reform agreements made by the Biden administration, as revealed in two obtained memos. Attorneys in the Civil Rights Division were instructed not to file new complaints or briefs until further notice. The memos indicate a potential abandonment of recent consent decrees in Louisville and Minneapolis, which were established to address civil rights violations following high-profile incidents involving police. The changes signal a shift in priorities under Trump, continuing a trend from his first administration toward restricting the use of consent decrees.
