After Republicans Gave ICE, CBP $70 Billion in New Funding Bill, Agencies Continue to Sit on $95 Billion from Previous Funding Bill

As of the End of May, ICE and CBP Still Have $95 Billion in Unobligated Funding

Washington, D.C. - After President Trump signed into law a Republican funding bill that gave Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) nearly $70 billion in new funding, data from the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) SF-133 reports shows that, as of the end of May, the two agencies are still sitting on $95 billion in unobligated funding from the One, Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that passed last July. Following this news, U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), a member of the Senate Budget Committee, released the following statement.

"While high prices squeeze New Mexican families, my Republican colleagues prioritized handing an extra $70 billion to ICE and CBP with zero reforms, accountability, or oversight. Yet these agencies are already sitting on $95 billion in unspent funds," said Senator Luján. "Families across New Mexico and the country are struggling to afford groceries, fuel, housing, and health care. Instead of addressing the affordability crisis, my Republican colleagues are fueling Trump's chaos and corruption. Americans don't need more funding for Trump's out-of-control ICE operation - they need lower costs and relief. This is a betrayal of every New Mexican working to make ends meet."

In May, Senate Budget Committee Democrats announced that the two agencies were sitting on over $100 billion from OBBBA at the end of April; $63 billion for ICE and $37 billion for CBP.

Using publicly available data published monthly by OMB, Senate Budget Committee staff calculated how much funding for ICE and CBP remains unobligated from OBBBA.

As of the end of May 2026:

• Of the $75 billion provided to ICE in OBBBA, $62 billion remains. The Secure America Act provided another $38.5 billion.
• Of the $65 billion provided to CBP in OBBBA, $33 billion remains. The Secure America Act provided another $26 billion.

Budget Committee staff examined apportionment amounts from the SF-132, or Apportionment and Reapportionment Schedule via OpenOMB.org to determine which Treasury Account Fund Symbol (TAFS) received money from OBBBA, P.L. 119-21. Staff then used OMB's monthly SF-133 reports to determine the mandatory unobligated balances for each account, identified by TAFS numbers. The SF-133, or Report on Budget Execution and Budgetary Resources, shows how much budget authority an agency has, how much has been obligated and expended, and what remains available in each account designated by TAFS numbers. SF-133 reports are available here.
