The FBI has closed its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) office
...
The decision follows growing criticism from Republican lawmakers. Earlier this month, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, condemning what she described as “radical” DEI initiatives that she argued had “endangered” Americans, citing the New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans as an example.
"While the facts surrounding this unconscionable attack continue to emerge, what we know is deeply troubling: the suspect was in possession of weapons, improvised explosive devices, and an ISIS flag. This horrific incident constitutes a blatant act of terror on the American homeland, and the people of our country deserve to know whether federal law enforcement agencies can sufficiently prevent and respond to such incidents," Blackburn wrote in her letter. "To that end, 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.”
Blackburn’s letter also pointed to a report by retired FBI agents warning that the agency’s "law enforcement and intelligence capabilities of the FBI are degrading because the FBI is no longer hiring ‘the best and the brightest’ candidates." She also highlighted the 2021 hiring of a Chief Diversity Officer and the New Orleans field office’s “Diversity Agent Recruiting Event” held in July as examples of the agency’s intensified focus on DEI initiatives.
Blackburn also posed pointed questions regarding the FBI’s DEI hiring practices. She inquired about the number of employees the Bureau hired through its DEI initiatives, how these initiatives are funded, whether any funds were reallocated to support them, and how many individuals were hired during the New Orleans field office’s Diversity Agent Recruiting Event in July.

Wow! It’s 2017 all over again except with sugar on top!
“Shut down”?
or “Reorganized”?
(i.e. renamed- but still active, undercover)
And they shuffled these DEI zealots into HR jobs where they will still
be discriminating against White Straight men by scrubbing away there job applications .
But nobody got fired?
Just moved em all to another empty Fed office building to ply their evil trade.
Rename and it’s the same game.
What documents are being destroyed?
This probably so when asked about it, they can say “no such thing exists and if it did we have no records of it.”
“Winning” would be firing all the useless sacks of sh!t DEI hires, not just “closing down the office.”
They knew all along it was a way to give $$$ to the favored classes.
Winning would be shutting down the FBI and prosecuting the entire top management and sentencing them to life in jail.

Kash Patel will soon be Director. We’ll see if he can root them out...
I am not sure.....”....WINNING: FBI Shuts Down DEI Office Before Trump’s Inauguration......”
I see Biden Administration policies like banning offshore oil drilling, allowing California to ban gasoline and diesel vehicle sales, removing Cuba from the list of state sponsored terrorist countries, etc. as trying to do things to through road blocks in the way of the Trump Administration working to improve this country and our economy.
The FBI has pretty well destroyed any expectation of integrity or honesty over the last four years (and longer). What I want to know is if the FBI disbanded DEI so it could embed those employees with that mindset into positions within the FBI that would be more difficult to fire? Again, this could either be a “good thing” or a very evil thing. I am just not sure.
What did they change the name to?
Can’t wait for the firings next week and beyond. There have been about four farewell emails this week from high-ranking Dept of State managers retiring tomorrow.
Meet your new boss. Same as the old boss....
I hope the let the employees go too. I suspect they all get reassigned.
Perhaps. But if the empty Fed office is in Alaska, maybe they will just quit.
