A photo celebrating more than 100 new attorneys and staff joining the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is going viral, but not for the reason officials intended. The image, shared by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has sparked widespread criticism after many social media users pointed to the apparent lack of Black attorneys among the new hires. Critics have questioned how a division tasked with enforcing the nation's anti-discrimination laws can effectively represent communities facing racial discrimination if its own workforce appears to lack diversity.
