Justice 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 Justice's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System, which securely moves prisoners and detainees by air and ground among judicial districts, correctional facilities, and other locations.
Extracted from U.S. Marshals Service, p. 3. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
