FBI's diversity-hiring binge SPOTLIGHTED: Trump admin lawyers probe 'politicized' crime-fighters for 'woke racism' after breakneck DEI push boosted ethnic mix by 5.4%
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • The FBI's diversity report says the bureau does not yet reflect US minorities

Conservative activists who served in the Trump administration have launched an investigation into the FBI, accusing it of sidelining white men recruits in its five-year blitz of hiring women and minority agents.

America First Legal (AFL), a conservative action group, this week filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, urging the agency to release the communications of its Chief Diversity Officer, Scott McMillion.

The group, which was founded by Stephen Miller, a White House advisor in the Trump administration, says McMillion's public statements and the FBI's diversity goals point at 'unlawful and unconstitutional racial balancing' in the agency.

The request comes as public support for the FBI plummets, especially among conservatives, who accuse the bureau of a liberal bias, politicization, and even of instigating the January 6 riot at the US Capitol in 2021.

The bureau between 2018 and 2023 boosted the 'racial/ethnic diversity' of staff by 5.4 percent, while increasing the share of female employees by 4.1 percent.

Even then, the agency's staffing did not reflect the make-up of the wider population.

In public statements, McMillion has said that FBI is engaged in a 'cultural shift' by prioritizing the hiring of more women and minorities into the bureau, the AFL says.

#3 In all fairness to one FBI employee who found out about it he put a stop to it and all of the information that was collected deleted. So the FBI says.
