The FY2027 President's Budget requests $3.0M for Detention and Removal Office Fee, within Homeland Security's Detention and Removal Office Fee account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $3.0M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $3.0M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $3.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $3.0M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The U.S. Attorney General may stay the removal of a noncitizen arriving at an air or seaport of entry when the noncitizen needed to testify in the prosecution of a person for a violation of a law of the United States or of any State. Section 241(c)(2)(C)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides the Attorney General the authority to release the noncitizen upon the individual's filing of a bond not less than $1,500, and Section 241(c)(2)(C)(iii) allows the Attorney General to prescribe additional conditions. Under these circumstances, a noncitizen may request release by applying for Stay of Removal and paying the release bond. The individual may request a stay for up to one year. Anything over one year must be renewed by filing a new application. The Application for Stay of Deportation or Removal (I-246) fee - currently $155 per application - is collected and deposited into the Immigration Examination Fee Account (Title 8 U.S.C. 1356(m) and (n)). Cases and application statuses - I-246, in conjunction with other relevant ICE forms - are monitored for compliance by the Enforcement and Removal Operations Field Offices at which they are filed and submitted. Fee Uses: Fee collections cover the costs incurred by the Detention and Removal Office during a stay of deportation or removal. The collections are also used to fund some Custody Operations non-bed general expenses.

7 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
