What is the current total budget for ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement)?
Through the “Big Beautiful Bill” in 2025, ICE has been granted approximately $75 billion in total supplemental funding, in addition to the $11.3 billion it received for the 2026 Fiscal Year. While this funding is spread across multiple fiscal years rather than allocated as a single-year budget, it provides ICE with unprecedented financial capacity, making it one of the most heavily funded federal law enforcement agencies in recent history, and allowing the agency to continue operations with fewer constraints than other DHS components that depend on annual congressional appropriations.
In contrast, other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components do not enjoy this level of financial flexibility. CBP, FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard rely primarily on annual congressional appropriations and have not received comparable supplemental funding.
