FBI Headquarters Moving to Reagan Building in DC

The FBI will relocate its headquarters to the Ronald Reagan Building in downtown Washington, D.C., reversing previously approved plans by both the Biden administration and Congress to move the agency to Greenbelt, Maryland. President Donald Trump and the General Services Administration led the decision, citing cost savings and the benefit of remaining close to other key federal agencies. Maryland leaders have protested the move, arguing it disregards a thorough site selection process and Congressional intent. The Ronald Reagan Building, which now houses Customs and Border Protection and once housed the U.S. Agency for International Development, will require substantial upgrades to meet FBI security standards. The timing and logistical details of the relocation have not been finalized. The decision follows years of political debate and competing interests among D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
