FBI to reassign 1,500 employees outside of D.C. area, vacate current HQ, Patel says
Briefly

FBI Director Kash Patel announced plans to move 1,500 FBI employees outside the National Capital Region within the next nine months, citing safety issues with the J. Edgar Hoover building. With about 11,000 employees in D.C., this relocation aims to enhance workforce safety and operational efficiency. Patel emphasized the need for a secure and suitable environment for FBI personnel. The search for a new headquarters has faced challenges, especially after previous plans were halted by political decisions. The FBI's current building has been criticized for its disrepair for nearly a decade, calling for urgent action.
In the next three to nine months, 1,500 FBI employees will be moved outside of the National Capital Region, as the J. Edgar Hoover building is deemed "unsafe for our workforce."
