They might have have signed on to work Federal criminal and civil criminal investigation’s….
Now?
About 3,000 are working FOR ICE….
NOT handling Federal other cases….
Oh, others are getting fired of being part of investigations of Donald Trump, of those Trump likes…..
Word IS the ‘Bureau’ people ain’t happy….
(Remember?…One Donald Trump has NO USE for the “Bureau’ who follows the law and ain’t his flunkies…)
The large number of reassignments — about 3,000 agents — reflect a vast reshaping of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, which has focused on national security threats since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The intense focus on immigration has raised alarm among current and former FBI agents who say morale is low across the bureau as agents have less time to dedicate to the often complex cases they were hired to work on.
In the past, few FBI agents have been assigned to work on immigration enforcement alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement, though the two agencies will collaborate on investigations.
The Trump administration has long said that more of the FBI’s time is going into immigration enforcement, but the figure of almost 25 percent is the first precise recording of how big the shift has been. Warner requested the data in his role as the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Agents have been pulled from duties related to cybercrimes, drug trafficking, terrorism, counterintelligence and more, the statistics show. Agents assigned to immigration enforcement are working with ICE to locate and arrest people in the country illegally.
The total amount of FBI resources devoted to immigration is probably higher than even the 25 percent figure. The FBI reassignment data Warner obtained reflects the number of agents working on immigration at least 50 percent of their time. It does not account for scores of other agents who have been detailed to immigration enforcement a lesser portion of their time.
FBI Director Kash Patel has also diverted more FBI agents to focus on combating local violent crime, another priority of the Trump administration…..
