Learn more about how activist hackers have launched projects to monitor the activities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and discover how to track the spending of the Department of Homeland Security. ICE has a new budget under the current administration, and they are investing heavily in surveillance technology. With a budget of $28.7 billion for 2025 (nearly three times the amount of their 2024 budget) and at least an additional $56.25 billion over the next three years, ICE's budget would be the envy of many national armies around the world. This budget would position ICE as the 14th best-funded military organization in the world, between Ukraine and Israel. There are several agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that deal with immigration, as well as agencies that are not directly involved with immigration, such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). ICE is specifically the enforcement agency of the U.S. immigration service.
