"Harmeet has consistently fought to protect our cherished civil liberties," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "She has taken on Big Tech, defended religious freedoms, and held corporations accountable for discriminatory practices."
Dhillon, a Dartmouth College and University of Virginia Law School graduate, is known for her dedication to constitutional rights and civil liberties. Trump further praised her as a respected member of the Sikh community, underscoring her commitment to justice and fair enforcement of civil rights and election laws.
Dhillon's nomination marks her as the fourth person of Indian descent to be appointed to the Trump administration’s second term cabinet. Other notable figures include Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and Vivek Ramaswamy, all of whom have strong connections to their Indian and Hindu heritage.
