Judge Blocks the Trump Administration From Moving FBI Headquarters to DC Office Building
Judge Theodore Chuang said the administration unlawfully scrapped the Greenbelt plan and diverted $555 million in congressional funding to the Reagan Building.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang blocked the Trump administration's plan to relocate the FBI headquarters to the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., instead of the previously selected Greenbelt, Maryland site.
- Greenbelt was selected for the new headquarters in 2023, but the administration sought to reverse this decision last year, citing the poor condition of the aging Hoover Building as justification for the Reagan Building alternative.
- The court ruled the move "not in accordance with law," finding it violated the Administrative Procedure Act and congressional mandates, which prevented officials from legally diverting $555 million in funds Congress appropriated for Greenbelt.
- Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown praised the ruling in a statement, asserting the victory ensures Congress's decisions cannot be ignored; the court found Maryland and Prince George's County suffered "irreparable injury" from the abandonment attempt.
- Federal officials are expected to appeal the decision, continuing a yearslong battle over the premier law enforcement agency's home, while the Hoover building remains in disrepair since its 1974 dedication.
