# Administration of Justice **OMB budget function 750** — the federal law-enforcement, litigation, courts, and corrections budget, and, crucially, the **home of immigration and border enforcement**. **~$85.2B in FY2025** (roughly flat vs FY2024's $85.0B, up from $72B in FY2022) — but the function poised to grow the fastest of all, because it is where the second Trump administration's mass-deportation program is funded. ## What's in it - **Federal law enforcement** — FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, and **Customs and Border Protection (CBP)** and **Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)** border/interior enforcement. - **Federal litigation & judicial** — the [[Department of Justice]]'s litigating divisions and the federal court system. - **Federal corrections** — the Bureau of Prisons and detention. - **Criminal-justice assistance** — grants to state and local law enforcement. ## The RWKB angle Function 750 is where **"law and order" and "border security" stop being slogans and become dollars** — and it is about to balloon. The [[Big Beautiful Bill]] (2025) appropriated tens of billions in new immigration-enforcement money (ICE detention, CBP hiring, border-wall construction), so the FY2026–FY2027 750 line will surge well above its historical ~$85B. This is the mirror image of the [[International Affairs]] story: the same budget that cut foreign aid to near-nothing is pouring money into enforcement. It is also the clearest case of spending as **ideological signal** — the growth here is a policy choice, not an entitlement formula. Watch the FY2026 actuals (a tracked [[Budget Hub]] item) for the first full measure of the enforcement build-out. ## Related - [[Department of Justice]] · [[Department of Homeland Security]] · [[Big Beautiful Bill]] - [[International Affairs]] · [[Budget Functions]] · [[Discretionary vs Mandatory Spending]] - [[Federal Budget FY2025]] · [[Budget Hub]]
