[quote=Anonymous]Calm down.  The "entire Civil Rights division" was not fired.

Louise Lucas is being alarmist and hyperbolic as Democrats have a tendency to be.

He is under no obligation to keep staff that worked under Herring.

[quote]Jason Miyares, Virginia's incoming attorney general, is shaking up staff ahead of taking office on Saturday.
Miyares, a Republican, will take over from Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring, who was narrowly defeated in the November 2021 election.
On Friday, Miyares' team said he made 30 personnel changes, including 17 attorneys and 13 staff members. Those attorneys include the solicitor general and deputies that served under Herring.

Victoria LaCivita, a spokeswoman for Miyares, said Lucas' comment was incorrect and that only two personnel changes were made out of a 12 person office.

LaCivita later tweeted that Miyares will analyze and evaluate the entire Office of the Attorney General following his inauguration, then will announce further changes.[/quote]

[quote]According to Miyares’s spokesperson, 17 attorneys and 13 staff members have been fired. This is out of the 523 people who work in the Attorney General’s Office. A total of 649 people report to the Attorney General.

The spokesperson said current Attorney General Mark Herring’s deputies and solicitor general were among those let go and Miyares has named replacements for those positions.

A tweet from the spokesperson stated that “personnel changes” were made for two of the 12 people who work for the Office of Civil Rights. This response came after Sen. Louise Lucas tweeted claiming the new attorney general had fired the entire office.[/quote]
