Judge blocks Trump administration from moving FBI headquarters to DC office building

U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ruled that the administration's cancellation of the previously approved Greenbelt, Maryland, plan and diversion of its funding were arbitrary, capricious and not in accordance with law. His order bars the government from moving the FBI to Washington's Reagan Building, renovating it for the bureau or repurposing the funds.
