This massive spending package is set to reshape the landscape of border and interior enforcement. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is slated to receive a staggering 75 billion dollars over four years, averaging nearly 19 billion dollars annually, largely for detention and deportation efforts. This funding surge is projected to nearly triple ICE’s annual budget compared to last year. Customs and Border Protection, CBP, isn't far behind, with almost 65 billion dollars allocated, nearly 47 billion of which is specifically earmarked for continued construction of a physical wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. To facilitate these goals, the act also calls for a dramatic expansion of federal personnel, with ICE's staffing projected to grow from 6,000 to 16,000 agents by 2029, and CBP set to hire an additional 8,500 employees.
