随着唐纳德·特朗普总统政府准备应对国会即将展开的一系列调查——涉及移民执法人员枪击案件以及杰弗里·爱泼斯坦档案——美国司法部民权司负责人已宣布辞职。
As President Donald Trump’s administration prepares for a flurry of congressional investigations into shootings by immigration agents and the Jeffrey Epstein files, the top official in charge of the United States Department of Justice’s civil rights division has resigned.
美国司法部长托德·布兰奇周四在社交媒体发文，证实助理司法部长哈米特·迪隆离职。
US Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday confirmed Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s departure in a post on social media.
“今天，我接受了助理司法部长哈米特·迪隆的辞呈，”布兰奇在X平台写道。“她捍卫了每一位美国人的公民自由，并不偏不倚地执行法律。”作为特朗普的核心盟友，迪隆于2025年4月获参议院确认担任该职位，此后主导了司法部民权司的大规模改组，该部门负责执行反歧视法律。数百名前司法部官员曾于去年12月联名致信，谴责特朗普政府导致该部门遭到“破坏”。
“Today, I accepted the resignation of Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon,” Blanche wrote on X. “She has defended the civil liberties of every American and enforced the law without fear or favor.”A top Trump ally, Dhillon was confirmed to her role in April 2025 and has overseen a dramatic overhaul of the Justice Department’s civil rights division, which is tasked with enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Hundreds of former Justice Department officials penned a letter last December decrying the “destruction” of the agency division under Trump.
自周二美国民主党在关键的中期选举中赢得参众两院控制权以来，迪隆是特朗普政府首位辞职的高级官员。
Dhillon is the first high-ranking official to resign from the Trump administration since US Democrats swept both chambers of the US Congress in the country’s pivotal midterm elections on Tuesday.
预计将出任众议院监督与问责委员会新任主席的民主党众议员罗伯特·加西亚周三承诺，将启动四项重大调查，其中包括移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工滥用职权以及爱泼斯坦档案问题。
Democratic congressman Robert Garcia, who will likely become the new chair of the powerful House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability, pledged on Wednesday to take on four major investigations, including abuses of power by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and the Epstein files.
据报道，迪隆今年早些时候曾告知其下属，其办公室通常负责调查警方执法致死案件，但不会调查两名美国公民——雷妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂——在明尼阿波利斯被ICE特工枪杀一案。
Dhillon reportedly told her staff earlier this year that her office, which has typically been charged with investigating law enforcement killings by police officers, would not be looking into the fatal shootings of two US citizens – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – who were gunned down by ICE agents in Minneapolis.
5月，加西亚指责政府继续包庇特朗普，使其免受与爱泼斯坦调查相关的未公开文件的审查。在一次闭门听证会上，布兰奇的前任帕姆·邦迪接受议员询问该案情况时，来自加利福尼亚州的民主党人加西亚指控迪隆多次介入，阻挠关于总统与文件发布有何关联的提问。
In May, Garcia accused the administration of continuing to shield Trump from scrutiny related to unreleased documents tied to the Epstein investigation During a closed-door hearing in which Blanche’s predecessor, Pam Bondi, was asked by lawmakers about the case, the California Democrat Garcia alleged Dhillon repeatedly intervened to block questions about the president’s connection to the release of the files.
当被问及迪隆何时提交辞呈时，司法部将半岛电视台引向布兰奇的社交媒体帖子。白宫未立即回应置评请求。
The Justice Department referred Al Jazeera to Blanche’s social media post when asked when Dhillon submitted her resignation. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
