President Donald Trump made waves praising Harmeet Kaur Dhillon, of Indian roots, at a White House Black History Month gala. The centennial event reviewed administration successes in justice, economy, and security.
‘It’s a very special occasion,’ Trump began, celebrating the milestone. He paid respects to Jesse Jackson: ‘A different person, but good—I give him my highest tribute.’
On legal fronts involving Harvard and beyond, Trump affirmed Dhillon’s involvement. Her landmark 2025 DOJ Civil Rights post follows distinguished service in California GOP and RNC circles, cementing her as a senior Indian-American official.
Trump championed Black-focused initiatives: the era-defining First Step Act, enduring HBCU aid, and 9,000 Opportunity Zones boosting growth.
Economically, he touted U.S. supremacy—53 market highs, record jobs, wages ahead of inflation.
Johnson’s speech resonated: ‘Only America turns prison stories into White House ones, thanks to this president.’
Ending strong, Trump honored equality pioneers, eyes on a robust America. Dhillon’s spotlight underscores Indian influence in politics.
