ICE funding surged under President Trump. Here’s how much

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was appropriated the most funding, receiving a budget allocation of $74.85 million to be spent over four years, analysts from the Get the Facts Data Team said.
The Department of Homeland Security was appropriated an additional $168 billion as part of the budget reconciliation 'One Big Beautiful Act', with U.S. Customs and Border Protection receiving $64.7 billion.
The appropriation splits funding between detention and personnel costs, allocating $45 billion for detention capacity and almost $30 billion for hiring, training and bonuses, averaging ~$18.7 billion yearly over four years.
Funding is a key topic for Congress as it works on passing the remaining six spending bills by Jan. 30 to avoid a partial government shutdown, with only 1 day remaining.
Democrats are vowing to oppose DHS funding after the killing of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol in Minneapolis on Saturday, while Senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Bill Cassidy and Susan Collins called for a comprehensive independent investigation.
