FBI Ends DEI Office Amid Trump Transition
The FBI has closed its Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), with the closure effective by December 2024, amid criticism from Republican lawmakers and in line with President-elect Donald Trump's campaign pledge to roll back DEI initiatives. The decision follows accusations that the FBI prioritized DEI over national security, particularly in light of the New Year's Day terrorist attack in New Orleans. Senator Marsha Blackburn and other Republican figures have criticized the FBI for focusing on DEI instead of security, arguing that it has led to hiring lower-quality candidates and endangered public safety. The closure also comes as the Republican-led push against DEI initiatives gains momentum, with legislative efforts like the 'Dismantle DEI Act.' Trump and his allies have vowed to eliminate such programs across federal agencies, citing them as distractions from core missions. Meanwhile, outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray has been criticized for his leadership, and Kash Patel is nominated as the next FBI director.
