Judge blocks Trump administration from moving FBI headquarters to DC office building
A U.S. judge has blocked plans to move the FBI's headquarters to a federal office building in Washington
U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang has halted a plan to relocate the FBI's headquarters from its current location in Washington, D.C., to a federal office building in Greenbelt, Maryland. The judge ruled that the Trump administration's decision to discard a previously approved plan to build a new facility in Maryland was illegal.
Maryland and Prince George's County had invested a decade of work and hundreds of millions of dollars into their original choice. Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown hailed the ruling as a victory for the state, while Maryland Governor Wes Moore emphasized the need to complete the new headquarters in Prince George's County. The current FBI headquarters, the J. Edgar Hoover Building, has faced criticisms for its aged condition.
