Details of the $170 billion enforcement package shows most of it will come from public health, food, and safety programs, government departments, medicine and health supports.
It is a multi‑year immigration and border enforcement package passed in Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” covering ICE, Border Patrol, detention expansion, deportation operations, and infrastructure.
The four‑year enforcement package, not a single agency budget includes:
ICE itself receives about $45 billion of that total for detention and deportation operations.
Trump’s White House is attempting to scale up to 1 million deportations annually, a level never before achieved in U.S. history.
- Managing the money means:Expanding detention capacity
- Increasing rapid‑removal operations
- Contracting private detention companies
- Building new processing centers
- Funding mass transportation (buses, flights)
ICE is receiving more funding than any other federal law enforcement agency to support this expansion.
- New detention facilities
- Surveillance technology
- Rapid‑response enforcement teams
- Large‑scale transportation logistics
This is the largest immigration enforcement investment in U.S. history.
In the real sense of things the funding is being used to create a Trump-personal-quasi-secret police force.
Emerging evidence and reporting suggest that the Trump administration’s use of the $170 billion immigration‑enforcement package raises profound constitutional and statutory concerns.
