i'm also not really sure why the budget the marines is relevant here. the DoD has a nearly trillion dollar budget. if we're going to randomly segment out expense centers why not focus it even more narrowly to something arbitrary like how much the military spends on flour for pizzas?
for ICE, total effective/enhanced funding for FY2026 is widely reported in the $28–30B from what I can tell.
not trying to be a dick but dont want to spend more time wording this more softly
