Immigration and Border Enforcement Swamps All Other Law Enforcement Spending

FY 2025 Federal Law Enforcement Appropriations

Note: This figure includes only appropriated discretionary outlays. Immigration includes CBP ($19B), ICE ($10B), USCIS ($281M), DHS general offices ($3.2B), and 20% of the Coast Guard ($2.2B). The figure uses CBO’s classification system, with the addition of the Coast Guard since interdiction is a core function.
