A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from abandoning a plan to relocate the FBI headquarters. The plan, which was announced in July 2025, involves moving the agency's headquarters from the J. Edgar Hoover building to a new location. The judge's ruling stated that the Trump administration's action exceeded the authority of the FBI and the General Services Administration.

The plan initially considered a site in Greenbelt, Maryland, but was later changed. Further details about the relocation plan and the judge's ruling are available. The judge, Theodore Chuang, was appointed by former President Barack Obama.
