The Department of Justice sent a memo to the interim director of the civil rights division, ordering a freeze to all ongoing litigation and a stop to any new cases.
An internal memo directed attorneys to notify leadership of consent decrees that were finalized within the last 90 days. Louisville's was finalized in that time.
The memo doesn’t state how long the freeze will last, but it essentially shuts down the civil rights division for at least the first weeks of the Trump administration.
The previous administration’s Department of Justice and Louisville signed the agreement last month, but it has not yet been approved by a federal judge.
The memo doesn’t state how long the freeze will last. However, it widely shuts down the civil rights division for at least for the first few weeks of the Trump administration. Trump’s nominee to lead the department, Harmeet K. Dhillon, is awaiting Senate confirmation.
The new Justice Department leadership has put a freeze on civil rights litigation, and suggested it may reconsider police reform agreements negotiated by the Biden administration.
The Trump administration is putting a halt to agreements that require reforms of police departments where the Justice Department found a pattern of misconduct, according to a memo issued Wednesday.
Trump “is quickly implementing Project 2025 and is targeting all minorities,” said researcher Allison Chapman.
The order does not say how long the freeze will last, but it essentially shuts down the division for at least the first weeks of the Trump administration.
