What GAO Found In August 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s largest immigration detention facility to date (known as Camp East Montana) opened on U.S. Army Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. GAO found that the Army—which awarded and administered the $1.3 billion facility contract—and ICE expedited the award and construction schedule for the facility. This negatively affected their planning and acquisition. Army and ICE officials indicated that the expedited time frames directed by senior leadership dictated several decisions related to their acquisition approach, such as using a contracting vehicle not previously used for detention services. They also selected a contractor th.

What GAO Found When communities are hit by a major disaster—such as a flood, hurricane, or wildfire—a key first step is removing large quantities of debris so that they can begin to recover. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a component within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers can help them respond quickly by awarding contracts before disasters strike. Tribes, states, and localities may also award their own advance contracts for debris removal. GAO found that six of 16 selected governments had awarded advance contracts for debris removal and identified benefits of having them, such as speed of debris removal. GAO also found confusi.

What GAO Found The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components spend billions annually on programs to acquire systems and capabilities that support national security. In fiscal year (FY) 2025, GAO reviewed 27 DHS major acquisition programs—generally, those with total costs over $300 million. To support timely delivery of capabilities and minimize cost growth, DHS policy requires programs to get DHS approval for their baseline cost, schedule, and performance goals. Of the 27 programs reviewed, 19 had received this approval while the other 8 had not yet reached the stage where this was required. As of September 30, 2025, 15 of the 19 programs had revised their baseline goals.

What GAO Found The General Services Administration (GSA) maintains an inventory of the federal government’s real property assets in a database called the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) Management System. Over time, data elements have been added to the FRPP for various reasons, including in response to laws. GSA has taken steps to improve FRPP data’s completeness and accuracy, such as updating guidance for agencies that submit data to FRPP. GAO assessed the accuracy of location data for fiscal year 2024 and found the data were generally accurate at the country and state level—data that GSA validates. However, the data were less accurate at a more granular level. In particular, about 20.

Transportation Department, Federal Aviation Administration | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 747-8 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of cracks in the fuselage skin lap splice at the upper fastener row between certain stations at certain stringers. This proposed AD would require performing repetitive external surface high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of the upper fastener row of the fuselage skin lap splice for any crack and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

What GAO Found The electromagnetic spectrum is a critical resource for many uses including national defense and commercial wireless services. Since more than one user operating on the same frequency can disrupt transmissions, the Department of Defense (DOD) must coordinate its spectrum use. It does so with other federal agencies and nonfederal entities, such as private sector companies and other organizations. This coordination occurs through a National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) committee. In doing so, DOD generally follows leading collaboration practices. For instance, DOD policy and practices provide for defined roles, established processes, and regular comm.
