How did immigration agencies' money and staff change after 2025 in budget papers?

"The Budget maintains critical funding for ICE, equal to the FY2026 level, including $2.2 billion to maintain 41,500 immigration detention beds at base levels."

"The FY 2027 budget requests $5.4 billion to sustain ERO’s operations"

"The reconciliation package (OB3A) added $75 billion for ICE to implement the Administration’s mass deportation initiative, including $45 billion for ICE to activate up to 100,000 single adult detention beds and up to 30,000 family unit beds."

"resulting in a $155 million reduction to the agency’s budget"

"the FY 2027 budget includes $3.7 billion to maintain Custody Operations"

"For FY2027, the President’s Budget outlines a budget authority of $22.91 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is $1.25 billion less than FY2026 CR levels."

"Since January 20, 2025, ICE has seen a 1,075 percent increase in 287(g) agreements"

"This net decrease is driven in large part by the funding surplus CBP received in the reconciliation package (OB3A)."

"ICE data on the IEL indicates that the average cost accrued by ICE to identify, arrest, detain, process, and remove a single alien in 2025 is $18,040."

"The meaningful increase in the number of aliens ordered removed in absentia combined with the overall cost of the IEL continues to put a significant strain on ICE's already stretched enforcement resources and diverts those essential resources from other immigration enforcement priorities."

"Fifty percent of the fees collected pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1814(d) shall be deposited into the Detention and Removal Office Fee Account and credited to ICE. ICE may use these funds without further appropriation, with the remaining 50 percent of the fee collections deposited into the general fund of the U.S. Treasury."

"DHS proposes to codify the provisions of 8 U.S.C. 1814 into regulations and to exercise its discretion to increase the fee from $5,130 to $18,000 due to the significant costs that the agency incurs in arresting aliens ordered removed in absentia."

"On November 20, 2025, ICE adjusted the fee for inflation from $5,000 to $5,130 for FY 2026, effective December 1, 2025."

"See DHS, Finding of Mass Influx of Aliens, 90 FR 45396-98 (Sept. 22, 2025) (explaining that in September 2025, ICE was working to fulfill a 61 percent vacancy rate for ERO officers and that the hiring of new ICE ERO officers ``takes time and includes the hiring onboarding and training of new officers'')"

"See DHS, DHS Announces Historic Travel Assistance and Stipend for Voluntary Self-Deportation (May 5, 2025) (noting that currently the average cost to arrest, detain, and remove an illegal alien is $17,121)"

"From June 27, 2025, after the IFR took effect, through September 14, 2026, ICE issued approximately 110,000 failure to depart civil penalties, and CBP issued an additional 66,000 civil penalties for unlawful entry."

"Thus, DHS increased the number of civil penalties issued from approximately 930 per week under the pre-IFR process to nearly 2,800 per week under the IFR process."

"DHS data indicates that over 82,000 aliens with removal orders and voluntary departures orders have self-departed from the United States since DHS began issuing civil penalties in March 2025 through September 14, 2026."

"was enacted on April 30, 2026, funding all of DHS except for the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enfor"

"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—$74.85 billion, including:"

"The FY 2026 Budget includes $11.3B, 21,808 positions, and 21,786 full-time equivalents (FTE) for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."

"The 2026 reconciliation bill, dubbed the Secure America Act, gives DHS until September 2029 to spend the money."

"Detention Capacity is increased by $501.0M to support 50,000 beds."

"FY 2026 FTE Adjustment - (29) - - -"

"Over half the new funds will go to ICE, which will receive nearly $39 billion for a wide range of enforcement operations, including additional hiring, facilities, and arrests."

"The Budget increases Transportation and Removal Operations with an increase of $205.0M to fund detainee domestic movement as well as increased funding for international removals for aliens with final orders of removal."

"Non-recur of FY 2025 Anomaly - - ($121,382) ($363,618) ($485,000)"

"Congress also gave CBP $26 billion to hire more personnel and conduct immigration enforcement, as well as to expand air, sea, and border surveillance."

"FY 2025 TO FY 2026 Change - 19 $4,423 $373,483 $377,906"

"The detention contract costs are projected to increase from $1.9B to $2.1B in FY 2026."

"Even if ICE and CBP evenly spread the reconciliation funds in the Secure America Act and the July 2025 reconciliation through their expiration in September 2029, the combined budgets of ICE and CBP will have more than tripled since 2021."

"The House Appropriations Committee just approved an additional $28 billion for ICE and CBP for fiscal year 2027, which starts this fall."
