US EditionFBI Shifts Focus: Immigration Takes Priority Over White-Collar Crime
- The FBI ordered agents on May 13, 2025, to increase focus on immigration enforcement and reduce white-collar crime investigations nationwide.
- This directive followed a strategic shift by the Trump administration prioritizing immigration crackdown amid a historical lack of immigration focus by DOJ law enforcement.
- Agents are expected to allocate approximately a third of their efforts toward immigration enforcement, with thousands reassigned and resources redirected, while certain white-collar cases continue to receive priority under updated DOJ policies.
- Matthew Galeotti stressed balancing white-collar enforcement by minimizing burdens on businesses and wrote the shift aims to avoid punishing risk-taking and hindering innovation.
- The shift will last at least through 2025, raising community concerns and reflecting a notable realignment of federal investigative priorities toward immigration enforcement.
