Maybe they are uprooting people's lives to see if they can get them to quit because the employment protections for FBI agents are likely too strong for a layoff or too many people balked at firing J6 investigators.

Likely, they would still conduct the same operations they did in DC, and they can justify the cost savings by having employees allocated to a cheaper COL area. A lot of law enforcement is clerical type work

Absolutely my first thought. This absolutely Silicon Valley-style "layoffs in disguise," like a lot of the "back to the office" ultimatums aimed at remote workers.
