Federal Judge Blocks Plan to Keep FBI Headquarters in D.C.

The Trump administration’s effort to maintain the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. faced a significant setback. A federal judge ruled against the administration’s plan, stating it was inappropriate for the Justice Department to override a decision made during the Biden administration.

The Biden-era decision, spearheaded by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), aimed to relocate the FBI headquarters to Maryland. The recent judicial ruling upholds this plan, affirming the GSA’s authority in determining the location of federal agency headquarters.
