Trump nominates Indian-American to justice dept job
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|December 11, 2024
WASHINGTON: US President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Harmeet Dhillon, a Republican leader and lawyer from California who backed the farmers' protests in 2020 and slammed India for allegedly plotting assassinations of Sikhs in North America more recently, as the assistant attorney general in charge of civil rights in the Department of Justice.
The position will give Dhillon direct authority over the grievances of Sikh-Americans who have alleged that the Government of India is engaging in "transnational repression"—a charge Delhi rejects and she has endorsed—and a seat in the room on discussions related to the ongoing cases against Nikhil Gupta and Vikash Yadav, implicated in the assassination plot of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US-Canada dual national who India designates as a terrorist.
