Since President Trump took office, a top priority for his administration and supporters in Congress has been an agenda of mass deportation and detention.
The primary institutional enablers of this agenda are Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), both housed within the Department of Homeland Security. Other agencies, including the Department of Defense/ War; the U.S. Coast Guard (also part of DHS), and others have also supported this agenda.
This memo provides an estimate for funding allocated by Congress to this effort as of this writing, in late July 2026. Allocations under the second Trump administration include funds provided from 2025 through 2029. If Congress approves more funding through regular appropriations or other avenues, the total will grow.
Major sources of funding for Trump’s mass deportation and detention agenda enacted through July 2026 are as follows, and are detailed below:
Under the Trump administration, Congress and federal agencies have already committed a total of $268.9 billion in federal funds for immigration enforcement from FY 2025 through FY 2029.
