Federal buildings across California face closure or sale as part of a cost-cutting initiative by the Trump administration. The U.S. General Services Administration listed several properties, including a major building in downtown Los Angeles housing important agencies like the IRS and USCIS. This initiative aims to reduce government operations on non-essential properties to save taxpayer money. However, after its initial release, the list was quickly modified, and the uncertainty reflects ongoing shifts in policy under the Trump administration regarding federal assets and operations.
"We are identifying buildings and facilities that are not core to government operations, or non-core properties for disposal. Selling ensures that taxpayer dollars are no longer spent on vacant or underutilized federal spaces."
"Hours after the list of properties was posted online, it was winnowed by more than 100 but still included 16 California properties. Then the list was removed from the GSA's website."
"The future of several prominent federal buildings in California that provide resources for broad swaths of the state's residents is in jeopardy, as the Trump administration seeks to reduce the national government's footprint."
