FBI Closes Diversity Office Amid Corporate Cutbacks

News summary

The FBI has confirmed the closure of its Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), a decision influenced by the growing backlash against DEI initiatives from Republican lawmakers and the impending inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. The closure, effective December 2024, was met with claims of 'corruption' from Trump, who demanded the preservation of all records related to the DEI office. This move follows a broader trend among corporations, including Meta, Amazon, and Walmart, which are also scaling back or eliminating their DEI programs amid criticism that such initiatives detract from core missions and compromise national security. Republican officials like Senator Marsha Blackburn and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise have voiced concerns that the focus on DEI has endangered public safety, particularly in light of recent security incidents. Critics argue that prioritizing diversity efforts undermines the effectiveness of agencies like the FBI. This shift reflects a significant change in the political and operational landscape concerning DEI policies in the U.S.
