Civil rights board slips into Dem hands amid ‘threats’ to oust chair

Inaction by Republican lawmakers has stymied the Trump administration's efforts to wrest control of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, allowing the panel to slip back into Democratic hands for the time being.

That could have significant implications for the commission’s ongoing investigation into antisemitism on college campuses — making it more likely that the probe will scrutinize the Trump administration’s unprecedented pressure campaign against universities and dismantling of federal civil rights offices.
