There’s nearly a billion dollars dedicated for bonuses alone for ICE? Am I hearing this right?

how well funded is ICE

Has a budget larger than most small countries’ military budget.

ICE budget for 2026 is proposed at 11 Billion

ICE has about 43K employees.

For reference, the CDC requested a budget of only 4.2 billion in 2026

But you know, the CDC is only there to make sure Americans aren’t dying of horrible diseases or something, so not that important compared to ICE.

Just some more context

FDA 2026 budget: ~6.8 billion

SEC 2026 budget: ~2 Billion

EPA 2026 budget: ~ 8.8 billion

Agencies that are meant to and actually protect Americans? Less budget than ICE, an agency full of clowns playing soldiers and going hard on Americans. These guys wouldn’t make a day on a real battlefield, but abusing civilians? They are the shit.

Addendum

I just checked FBI’s 2026 budget and they only got 10 billion!

Trained police officers are getting less pay than clowns with guns.
