Judge Blocks Trump’s FBI Site Move | Washington DC News

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to abandon the Greenbelt site for the new FBI headquarters, ruling that the move was illegal and violated Congress’s prior funding authorization. Maryland’s lawsuit argued the administration was illegally redirecting funds, and the court sided with them — affirming that executive agencies can’t override congressional decisions. The Biden administration had chosen Greenbelt in 2023 for its design, security, cost, and transit advantages, while critics wanted the FBI to stay in D.C. The ruling preserves the Greenbelt project, which promises over 7,000 jobs and major economic gains for Maryland — though the Trump administration plans to appeal. For now, Greenbelt is back on track.
