Share and Follow


HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — The new budget signed by President Trump on Friday provides $165 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, much of which will go toward the deportation of undocumetned immigrants and securing the southern border.

The funding includes:

  • $46.5 billion for new border wall construction.
  • $14.4 billion for removal transportation.
  • $12 billion for states, like Texas, that provide border security.
  • $4.1 billion to hire additional U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel, including 3,000 more customs officers and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.
  • $3.2 billion for new technology, and $2.7 billion for new border surveillance.
  • $855 million to expand CBP’s vehicle fleet.
  • Funds to hire 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforecment agents. ICE currently has 20,000 law enforcement and support personnel across 400 offices.
  • Increase ICE detention capacity to maintain an average daily detained population of 100,000 with 80,000 new ICE beds.
  • Fully fund ICE’s 287(g) program, which empowers state and local law enforcement to assist federal immigration officers.
  • Bonuses of $10,000 for ICE and Border Patrol agents for the next four years.
  • $14.1 billion for Coast Guard cutters.
  • $3.7 billion for Coast Guard aircraft.
  • $6 billion for Coast Guard infrastructure.

“The one big beautiful bill is a win for law and order and the safety and security of the American people,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said. “This $165 billion in funding will help the Department of Homeland Security and our brave law enforcement further deliver on President Trump’s mandate to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens and make America safe again.”

Migrant advocates decried the bill, which passed both chambers of Congress and was signed on the Fourth of July by Trump.

It “is a blank check to fostering more chaos, family separations, and cruelty across the country from its most remote corners to the largest cities,” Angelica Salas, executive director for Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) said.
