FBI closed DEI office in December, agency says
The FBI confirmed to Fox News Digital that the agency closed its office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in December.
EXCLUSIVE: The FBI has closed its DEI office, Fox News can confirm.
"In recent weeks, the FBI took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024," the agency told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
The agency didn't specify why it had closed the office, although many Republicans have been critical of it prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion, saying that had overshadowed national security.
Earlier this month, Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray claiming that "radical" DEI practices had "endangered" Americans following the New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans.
"I am deeply concerned that—under your leadership—the Bureau has prioritized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives over its core mission of protecting the American people," Balckburn wrote in the Jan. 3 letter after referencing the attack.
The FBI page on diversity and inclusion – that was still on its website as of Thursday – says the agency is "committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce. In 2015, the FBI added diversity as one of the organization's core values.
The Trump effect strikes again!
Well….that's all fine and good but these folks need their careers truncated. They need to be identified and gone, forever.
Blah, it could just be rebranding. They know the acronym has bad optics now so they keep it, in spirit, under a different acronym. Time will tell but I wouldn't get too excited yet.
