The FBI is reallocating its resources from white-collar crime investigations to prioritize immigration enforcement, following directives from President Trump. This decision stems from legal setbacks and decreasing public support for the administration's immigration policies. Matthew Galeotti, head of the DOJ's Criminal Division, cautioned against overreaching in white-collar crime enforcement, emphasizing the importance of balancing effective prosecution with minimizing burdens on businesses. He advised prosecutors to consider less severe remedies for minor offenses, reflecting a more measured approach to corporate compliance.
"The FBI has ordered its agents to scale back white-collar crime investigations and focus more on immigration enforcement, reflecting a shift in federal priorities."
"Galeotti acknowledged that white-collar crime poses a significant risk to U.S. interests, yet warned that unchecked enforcement could burden businesses and harm innovation."
