The Department of Homeland Security committed to spend more than $144 million on weapons, ammunition and related accessories during the first year of President Donald Trump's second term, according to a new report.
The report compiled data from USASpending.gov and the Federal Procurement Data System and found a sharp increase in spending commitments by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection across multiple weapons categories. In ICE's case, spending was four times higher than in 2024, while CBP's weapons contracts more than doubled.
