BALTIMORE, MD – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown and Prince George’s County today filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings in their lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s unlawful attempt to sabotage the FBI headquarters project in Greenbelt, Maryland. The motion asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to rule in Maryland’s favor based on the papers the parties have filed in the lawsuit and to strike down the administration’s unlawful decisions and restore the Greenbelt site as the selected location for the new FBI headquarters.
In November 2025, Attorney General Brown and Prince George’s County filed suit to stop the Trump administration’s unlawful attempt to sabotage the new FBI headquarters project in Greenbelt, Maryland, and redirect over $1 billion in congressionally appropriated funding to the Ronald Reagan Building – a location that defied an explicit direction from Congress to select one of three other specified sites. The Greenbelt site was selected in September 2023 following a rigorous, decade-long evaluation process. Maryland and Prince George’s County made extraordinary commitments to secure the FBI headquarters, including over $300 million for transportation infrastructure, parking facilities, and other improvements.
In the motion, Attorney General Brown argues that there are no factual disputes the court needs to resolve before it can rule that the Trump administration’s decisions were unlawful. Attorney General Brown is seeking a court order to permanently block the administration from moving forward with the Ronald Reagan Building plan or diverting funds designated for the Greenbelt project.
