The president of the, is about to perform a mass resignation of high FBI officials. The Administration has notified these agents that if they do not choose to dismiss, they will face dismissal, an action that may be considered illegal, since the legislation requires just cause for the termination of their contracts, according to NBC broadcaster. Among those affected, there are at least six directors and executives and leaders of the FBI offices in Miami and Los Angeles.
These directors were promoted by former FBI director Christopher Wray, and are among those who participated in Trump-related investigations, including the investigation of the invasion of the capitol on January 6, 2021, according to CNN. Trump’s decision to dismiss these agents raises concerns about the institution’s integrity and independence, which is fundamental for law enforcement in the United States.
To occupy the position of FBI Director General, Trump chose former attorney Kash Patel. Patel, in his defense, assured that there will be no political persecution during his management, seeking to reassure those who fear a possible politicization of the organ. However, his statements did not eliminate doubts about FBI’s autonomy under his leadership.
