The Trump administration has canceled leases for 24 federal offices in Arizona as part of an effort to downsize the federal real estate footprint and save money. The closures include offices in Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, and other locations across the state. Some of the affected offices in the Valley include the Forest Service in Mesa, the Executive Office for Immigration Review in Phoenix, the Public Defender Service in Phoenix, and the Food and Drug Administration in Tempe. It is unclear what the closures mean for the employees in these offices. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website provides more information on the leases and expected savings from the cancellations. The Trump administration has been aggressively cutting government spending and the federal workforce, with a reported goal to terminate as many as 300 federal office leases per day. This move is part of a wider push to modernize and streamline federal operations.
