美国联邦调查局正计划重新分配数千名移民执法人员，以专注于网络威胁反恐努力知情人士周二告诉ABC新闻。
资源的转移部分是由美国的罢工消息人士称，周末在伊朗。
消息人士称，美国联邦调查局已经讨论了将至少几千名代理人调离移民工作，以帮助抵御来自外国对手，特别是伊朗的威胁。
“美国联邦调查局不对具体的操作调整或人事决定发表评论，”一名美国联邦调查局官员告诉ABC新闻。“然而，我们不断评估和调整我们的资源，以应对我们国家安全面临的最紧迫的威胁，并确保美国人民的安全。”
自美国联邦调查局开始指派特工从事移民执法工作，以支持唐纳德·特朗普总统的移民镇压知情人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，该领域的特工一直在表达对用于反恐和网络威胁的资源减少的担忧。
美国广播公司新闻此前报道称，几个月前，美国联邦调查局指示全国各地的特工——其中许多人从事反恐和网络问题的工作——向集中注意力帮助国土安全部进行移民执法行动。
FBI plans to shift agents from immigration enforcement to counterterrorism
The FBI is planning to reallocate potentially thousands of agents away from immigration enforcement to focus on cyber threats andcounterterrorism efforts, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Tuesday.
The shift in resources was prompted in part by theU.S. strikesin Iran over the weekend, the sources said.
The FBI has discussed shifting at least a couple thousand agents away from immigration work to help protect against threats from foreign adversaries, especially Iran, said the sources.
"The FBI does not comment on specific operational adjustments or personnel decisions," an FBI official told ABC News. "However, we continuously assess and realign our resources to respond to the most pressing threats to our national security and to ensure the safety of the American people."
Since the FBI started assigning agents to work on immigration enforcement in support of President Donald Trump'simmigration crackdown, agents in the field had been expressing concerns that fewer resources were being dedicated to counterterrorism and cyber threats, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
ABC News previously reported that several months ago, the FBI directed agents from around the country -- many of whom were working on counterterrorism and cyber issues -- tofocus insteadon helping the Department of Homeland Security conduct immigration enforcement operations.
