FBI Director Kash Patel has made a change to the application process. Certain acts are no longer automatic disqualifiers for job applicants. This shift is reportedly intended to help victims of trafficking.

Previously, engaging in specific crimes would result in automatic disqualification. Now, the FBI will consider applicants who have been involved in these acts on a case-by-case basis.

Further information on this decision is available from the source, including testimony from the FBI Director to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
