The Daily Beast reports:
President-elect Donald Trump nominated Harmeet Dhillon as assistant attorney general for civil rights, he announced Monday. In 2017, Dhillon represented UC Berkeley College Republicans when she sued the school after it cancelled a speaking appearance by right-wing commentator Ann Coulter, purportedly over safety concerns.
Later that year, Dhillon represented former Google engineer James Damore, who was fired from the tech giant after he wrote an internal memo criticizing its culture and diversity policies.
Two years later, Dhillon represented conservative journalist and social media influencer Andy Ngo in a suit against left-wing activist group Antifa after Ngo was injured in Portland, Oregon, by counter-protesters during a Proud Boys rally.

Dhillon has appeared here multiple times for her COVID and election-related lawsuits and for her failed bid to oust Ronna McDaniel as RNC chairperson.
I’m extremely honored by President Trump’s nomination to assist with our nation’s civil rights agenda. It has been my dream to be able to serve our great country, and I am so excited to be part of an incredible team of lawyers led by @PamBondi. I cannot wait to get to work!
