Conservative lawyer Harmeet Dhillon was confirmed Thursday to lead the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.
According to the Senate Roll Call, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was the only Republican who voted against Dhillon in the 52-45 vote.
Democratic Sens. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Patty Murray of Washington did not vote, nor did independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Fox News said it sought a comment from Murkowski, but the outlet did not receive one.
Congrats to my former lawyer @HarmeetKDhillon on her confirmation as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. No one will fight harder to ensure that EVERY American has their civil rights protected. A fearless champion for justice!
