On May 13, 2025, the FBI directed its agents to allocate more time to immigration enforcement, reducing efforts on white-collar crime investigations, according to a Reuters report. This directive, issued on May 12, requires agents to dedicate approximately one-third of their time to supporting the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration. The shift in focus means white-collar crime cases will be deprioritized for the remainder of 2025, as confirmed by four individuals familiar with the internal discussions. The Justice Department also released new guidance on the same day, with Matthew Galeotti, head of the Criminal Division, instructing prosecutors to limit the scope and impact of white-collar investigations. This strategic realignment reflects a broader policy shift to address immigration concerns, aiming to enhance border security and enforcement efforts.
