Multiple federal offices in Oklahoma are facing potential closures as part of budget cuts proposed by the Department of Government Efficiency. However, investigations by KOCO 5 reveal that some of these offices, including an Indian Health Service office, are still open and operational. Despite the DOGE website listing locations and estimated savings, many office representatives claim to be unaware of any official notifications regarding closures. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, in particular, has not received any guidance on the matter and insists that services will continue uninterrupted. Oklahoma leaders in Washington, D.C., have been reached out to for further information on the potential closures, but no responses have been received. The list of federal agencies set for closure includes branches of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Social Security Administration, among others. The DOGE website claims that these closures would save millions of dollars in lease costs. The uncertainty surrounding the future of these federal offices in Oklahoma raises concerns about the impact on essential services provided to residents. Despite the proposed closures, the current status of these offices remains in limbo as officials work to clarify the situation and ensure continuity of services.
