FBI Agents Reassigned to Immigration Enforcement

Nearly half of FBI agents in major US field offices have been reassigned to immigration enforcement, according to data obtained by Democratic Senator Mark Warner. The Trump administration has moved 45% of FBI agents in the country's 25 largest field offices to support the Department of Homeland Security's immigration crackdown. This shift has raised concerns about public safety as agents have been taken away from tackling cybercrimes, drug trafficking, terrorism, espionage, violent crimes, counterintelligence and other areas. The move is seen as part of FBI director Kash Patel's efforts to purge the bureau of agents seen as disloyal to Trump.
