ICE now has a $160 billion budget — that’s more than the entire U.S. Marine Corps.

The claim states that ICE now has a $160 billion budget, which is more than the entire U.S. Marine Corps. According to the search results, the actual budget figures for ICE are much lower. One source from gcn.

Org states that the continuing resolution passed in March 2025 provides about $10 billion for ICE. Another source from WOLA mentions ICE's detention budget in 2024 was approximately $3. 43 billion, which aligns with the general scale of ICE's funding being in the single-digit billions rather than hundreds of billions.

There is no credible evidence in the search results or known public budget data to support a $160 billion budget for ICE. In contrast, the U.S. Marine Corps' budget is typically tens of billions of dollars annually but less than $160 billion; thus, even if ICE had a $160 billion budget, it would be unusually large and unprecedented. Given these facts, the claim that ICE has a $160 billion budget exceeding that of the Marine Corps is false.
