FBI's spy hunting squads hit with deep cuts even as foreign espionage threats soar

The FBI's counterintelligence units are facing significant reductions in personnel despite a rising threat from foreign espionage. This shift in focus by President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel prioritizes violent crime and immigration over other security concerns, which could leave vulnerabilities unaddressed. This move might impact the FBI's ability to handle sophisticated espionage activities, potentially putting national security at risk. The changes underscore a broader debate on how law enforcement agencies allocate resources in an evolving threat landscape.
