Harmeet Kaur Dhillon (born 1969) is an American lawyer and Republican Party official. She is the former vice chair of the California Republican Party, and a National Committeewoman of the Republican National Committee for California.[1][2] She is the founder of a law practice called Dhillon Law Group Inc.[3] In 2018, she helped launch the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Center for American Liberty, which does legal work related to civil liberties.[4] She is a regular guest on Fox News.[5]
During the coronavirus pandemic, she filed numerous unsuccessful lawsuits to halt the implementation of stay-at-home-orders and other restrictions. She criticized face masks requirements, called for the re-opening of the economy, and opposed mail in voting.[5][6][7]
In the January 2023 election, Dhillon unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Ronna McDaniel as chair of the Republican National Committee. In December, 2024, Donald Trump nominated Dhillon to serve as the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.
