22 federal leases in New York are canceled by the Trump administration: View the most recent list

While the amount saved by the Trump administration through federal lease cancellations has decreased across the country, New York’s contribution has increased, despite a lower number of canceled leases.

The Trump administration has canceled twenty-two federal leases in New York, up from 19 in early March but down from 23 in late March, according to a government data portal detailing the president’s efforts to reduce the federal government size.

The Trump administration previously announced the cancellation of Poughkeepsie’s Social Security Administration lease, New York City’s Department of Homeland Security U.S. Secret Service lease, and New Windsor’s Internal Revenue Service National Office lease, but the leases, along with several others nationwide, have since been removed from the list.

As of April 22, Manlius’ Indian Health Service lease and New York City’s General Services Administration lease were also removed from the list.

Here’s the most recent updates.

Why the Trump administration is canceling leases

Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE,” named after an Internet joke, has cancelled government contracts and laid off thousands of employees as part of a larger effort to overhaul the federal bureaucracy.

The president and his allies have touted it as a long-overdue measure to reduce government inefficiencies and fraud.

How many leases has the Trump administration canceled nationwide?

Initially, the Trump administration claimed to have cancelled more than 700 leases across the country; however, as of March 27, the government data portal listed 679 lease terminations, and as of April 22, that figure was even lower, at 643 lease terminations.

Savings have also decreased. In early March, the Trump administration announced that they had saved approximately $468 million by canceling these leases, with over $7 million coming from leases canceled in New York. However, by March 27, the overall figure had been reduced to around $400 million, and by April 22, it had dropped to around $311 million.

However, the overall savings from canceled leases in New York have increased slightly. On March 27, the Trump administration stated that they had saved less than $6.5 million, but as of April 22, the figure had risen above $6.5 million again.
