Recent reports indicate that a plan is in motion to transfer approximately 1,500 FBI personnel, including agents and support staff, out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C., to field offices across the country. [1, 2]
The plan was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel in May 2025, who cited the poor, “unsafe” condition of the current headquarters as the primary reason for the move. This relocation is part of a broader effort to move about 10% of the Washington-based FBI workforce (which numbers around 11,000 of the total 38,000 employees) to other locations, including the FBI facility in Huntsville, Alabama. [2, 3, 4]
The transfers are expected to occur within a 3 to 9 month timeline from the initial announcement, though a precise final number of actual transfers implemented so far has not been definitively confirmed in the search results. Some reports suggest that over 900 of these positions were already vacant, which would streamline the process. [3, 5]
This initiative is distinct from other reports of thousands of agents being reassigned to focus on immigration enforcement, which is a separate operational shift in priorities. The relocation of the headquarters has been a subject of debate for over a decade, with previous plans under the Biden administration favoring a new consolidated campus in Greenbelt, Maryland. [6, 7, 8, 9]
