FBI reassigns agents from iconic photo of them kneeling during George Floyd protest

  • The FBI reassigned several agents photographed kneeling with protesters during a 2020 George Floyd protest in Washington, DC.
  • The kneeling aimed to deescalate tensions during confrontations at federal monuments, but the reassignments come nearly five years later amid internal controversy.
  • The Justice Department is reviewing the conduct of over 1,500 agents tied to politically sensitive investigations, while FBI leadership has not provided reasons for reassigning certain agents to less desirable positions.
  • The incident occurred after widespread protests following Floyd's death, when agents were deployed for crowd control despite lacking relevant training, and top officials found no policy violation.
  • The reassignments reflect a broader effort by new FBI leadership to remove what President Trump called 'woke' and politicized elements, raising concerns about bypassing standard discipline processes.
