It's been nearly a year since President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). While the legislation was advertised as a sweeping tax bill, it also allocated roughly $191 billion to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to ramp up immigration enforcement. Included in this total was $75 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and $65 billion for Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Despite having the funds available through the end of FY 2029, the Trump administration released an estimated $114 billion, nearly 60 percent, of the funding allocated to DHS, ICE, and CBP within eight months of the OBBBA's signing.
