司法部长托德·布兰奇周二晚间宣布，唐纳德·特朗普总统已任命住房与城市发展部高级官员克雷格·特雷纳出任司法部民权司下一任司长。
President Donald Trump has appointed Craig Trainor, a top official at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to be the next chief of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Tuesday night.
特雷纳目前担任住房与城市发展部公平住房与平等机会助理部长。他将接替前民权司司长哈米特·迪隆。迪隆上周在与布兰奇及其他部门领导层发生冲突后离开了政府。
Trainor is currently the assistant secretary for fair housing and equal opportunity at HUD. He will replace former civil rights chief Harmeet Dhillon, who left the administration last week amid conflicts with Blanche and other department leaders.
目前尚不清楚特雷纳是否会被正式提名担任该职位，正式提名需要参议院确认。
It is unclear whether Trainor will be nominated to the position permanently, which would require Senate confirmation.
特雷纳此前曾担任众议院司法委员会主席、俄亥俄州共和党人吉姆·乔丹手下的高级特别顾问，以及美国优先政策研究所的高级诉讼顾问。根据联邦党人学会网站上他的个人简介，他于2025年2月撰写了一封“致同事”信，“该信被广泛认为是特朗普政府执行民权法律、恢复宪法平等保护承诺的蓝图”。
Trainor previously served as a senior special counsel with the House Judiciary Committee under Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and as senior litigation counsel with the America First Policy Institute. He authored a “Dear Colleague” letter in February 2025 “that is widely considered the Trump administration’s blueprint for enforcing civil rights laws and restoring the Constitution’s promise of equal protection,” according to his biography on the Federalist Society website.
特雷纳将接手的民权司已被其前任彻底改变。迪隆曾利用她的职位为文化战争中的不满情绪站台，并逆转解决种族不公的努力。她针对大学的多元化举措，推行反跨性别政策。她驳回了针对美国黑人的民权侵犯投诉，并放弃了执法改革努力。
Trainor will take over a Civil Rights Division profoundly changed by his predecessor. Dhillon had used her office to champion culture war grievances and roll back efforts to address racial injustices. She targeted universities over diversity initiatives and pushed anti-transgender policies. She dismissed complaints of civil rights violations against Black Americans and abandoned law enforcement reform efforts.
迪隆是共和党在中期选举中惨败后离开政府的多名官员中的第一位。据一位与MS NOW交谈的政府高级官员称，迪隆曾向白宫前幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯透露离职意向，怀尔斯私下敦促迪隆将辞职推迟到选举之后。这位官员因讨论敏感人事问题而要求匿名。
Dhillon was the first of several administration officials to depart after the GOP’s drubbing in the midterm elections. She had shared her intention to leave with former White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who privately urged Dhillon to delay her resignation until after the elections, according to a senior administration official who spoke with MS NOW on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive personnel matters.
一些白宫领导人认为，迪伦离任的时机对政府而言是一件难堪的事，因为民主党在中期选举中取得历史性胜利，众议院和参议院均转为民主党掌控。
The timing of Dhillon’s departure was seen by some White House leaders as an embarrassment for the administration, given the historic wave of Democratic midterm wins and the House and Senate flipping to Democratic control.
