FIRST ON FOX: A group of almost a dozen attorneys general across the United States have sent a letter to the Biden administration warning that DEI hiring practices within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are putting airline passengers in danger.

"We are troubled by some recent reports regarding your agency’s hiring practices and priorities," Kansas Republican AG Kris Kobach and 10 other attorneys general wrote to FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker. "It seems that the FAA has placed ‘diversity’ bean counting over safety and expertise, and we worry that such misordered priorities could be catastrophic for American travelers."

According to the letter, the FAA under the Biden administration "appears to prioritize virtue-signaling ‘diversity’ efforts over aviation expertise" and "this calls into question the agency’s commitment to safety."
