DHS publishes Acronis exclusion and removal order for federal civilian agencies, with issuance-based deadlines
An October 30 Homeland Security notice publishes an order excluding covered Acronis products from federal civilian executive branch procurement and requiring removal from agency systems. The attached order lists July 31 as its original release date. Its removal and exception-request periods run from issuance, so publication does not announce a fresh compliance clock or a consumer ban.

Homeland Security waives a federal law on water-rights suits and New Mexico's water code and rules for building border barriers and roads on a New Mexico segment, effective October 2
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a notice October 2 waiving legal requirements for border barrier and road construction in a New Mexico project area, effective that day. It lists a 1952 federal law on water-rights suits, the New Mexico Water Code and two parts of the state's underground-water rules. It does not name the National Environmental Policy Act or the Endangered Species Act and gives no miles or counties. The 1996 law behind the waiver limits court challenges to constitutional claims filed within 60 days.

A Homeland Security notice on public inspection, scheduled to be published October 1, adjusts fees that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services collects under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Of 13 fees in its table, six rise by $3 to $30, including parole ($1,020 to $1,050) and the annual asylum fee ($102 to $105). A request postmarked 15 days after publication or later without the proper fee will be rejected.

Forty-one percent of Coast Guard units sit in remote or vacation-rental areas where the housing allowance does not stretch, and the service went thirteen years without asking its own people about it.
GAO published a three-page snapshot on September 18 pulling together its prior work on Coast Guard housing. Around 41 percent of Coast Guard units are in remote or high vacation rental areas with limited supply and high living costs relative to the allowance; 76 percent of Coast Guard members rely on private-sector housing, and 40 percent move to a new duty station every year. The Coast Guard has designated 46 critical housing areas affecting 400 of its 2,490 family housing units. It had not run a service-wide housing feedback survey since 2012 and launched one only in autumn 2025, after a GAO recommendation; GAO says it 'has yet to inform its housing policies with related current or complete information.' Nine GAO recommendations on military housing access were still open as of July 2026. This document makes no new recommendations and contains no agency response, because it is a synthesis rather than a new audit. DOD says it will publish a list of critical housing areas by May 2027.
