"Donald Trump is supposed to be the guy that's concerned about crime In every FBI field office and we just got this 25-45% of the agents that used to work on counterrorism, cyber-crime, counter-espionage, they've all been taken off those duties and assigned to immigration. HOLY COW: Sen. Mark Warner just revealed Trump's DOJ pulled up to 45% of FBI agents off counter-terrorism and CHILD RAPE AND EXPLOITATION cases to reassign them to immigration. Trump's priorities aren't America First. They're predators first."
"They come to our committee and say, 'We're not doing anything. We're not effectively working.' How can this president say he wants to keep America safe, Warner continued, if he's taking folks off of counterterrorism to try and help ICE agents? Correct me if I'm wrong, interjected Gallina, but I even heard child exploitation. Yes, responded Warner. And that was their issue!"
Sen. Mark Warner accused the Department of Justice under President Donald Trump of reallocating a significant share of FBI agents from counterterrorism, cybercrime, counter-espionage, and child-exploitation investigations to immigration enforcement. The reallocation is described as ranging from about 20% reported by Cato/MSNBC to as high as 25–45% in Warner's claims. The reassignment reportedly moved agents to assist ICE, creating concerns that fewer resources remain for domestic terrorism and exploitation investigations. Critics argue that diverting agents to immigration enforcement reduces investigative capacity and increases vulnerability to extremist activity and child-exploitation crimes.
