Virginia lawmakers are making their final push to build a new FBI headquarters in their state, while Maryland officials try to persuade the federal government to put it in Maryland.
The Washington Post reports that the jockeying is happening as the General Services Administration gets closer to a decision in the decade-plus-long effort.
In a letter to the GSA and FBI submitted Feb. 3, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, and most of the Virginia congressional delegation made a detailed case in hopes of swaying the federal government to prefer a site in Springfield, Virginia, instead of locations in Landover and Greenbelt in Maryland.
Virginia lawmakers also sought to compete more aggressively with Maryland on one component that Maryland has sought to elevate: that building the FBI in their community advances racial equity. President Biden signed an executive order in 2021 that made advancing racial equity through federal agencies a priority, a move that considers the effects of federal investment in certain underserved communities.

“Florida would be a nice place for the FBI... far away from DC in so many ways.”
While it’s a good idea to get the FBI out of the viper’s nest of DC, Florida is too cushy for them. It should be in Butte Montana!
Right now the FBI is turning into FSB. So that's what going to happen. Biden is harmless for most part. But his successor won't be (Gavin Newsom?)
Butte Montana has merit...
+1
As for FBI headquarters, Hell win eventually win out.
“Gavin Newsom”
Is that some sort of endangered California amphibian?
I’m not concerned about Biden or Newsom. They are/will be controlled by the deep state, bureaucracy-class, or whatever you want to call it. The federal government is a supertanker and no president is able to turn it on a dime. The vast majority of government needs to be eliminated. Let’s get back to the conservative principle of limited government.
Alcatraz!!! Hell yes! All of them. Every agent across the land. Give them a cell.
Camden, New Jersey
Hell is just too good for the FBI.
That would be the perfect place. I believe all the rooms are empty now.

We have checks and balances in our system. But our legislative branch isn't doing much anymore. The Supreme Court will lean left again in a decade or so. Then watch out. We're not going to luck out with a benevolent President.
Put them in Virginia, then the conservatives can reconstruct a constitutional militia with the help of Dr Edwin Vieira, and arrest their a$$es when they violate the Constitution or state laws.
Landover, Maryland 66% Negro 28% Hispanic 2% White
Dead agency walking…
Or perhaps this would be more appropriate:
New Jersey. OMG I love it.
I think central Maryland should get it.* Very Commie area.
*Except Carroll County. They’re quite conservative there.
No thanks. That would be inviting the enemy to our dinner table.
Why. It fits perfectly, considering Maryland’s politics.
