Investigators with the FBI and Riverside County District Attorney's Office served search warrants at Palm Springs City Hall Tuesday, forcing the closure of the building and sending employees home.
Lourdes Arocho of the FBI told City News Service she could not comment on the nature of the investigation because the search warrant affidavits are under seal.
An FBI spokeswoman at the scene told reporters the probe was being carried out by an Inland Empire public corruption task force.
Agents showed up at City Hall around 9 a.m. and began searching the building. Law enforcement personnel were stationed around the building while the warrants were served.
