H.R. 2406 would direct Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Department of Homeland Security to hire additional personnel, including 10,000 deportation officers and 2,500 detention enforcement officers. The legislation also would require ICE to establish a pilot program to improve procedures related to the removal of aliens. Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2406 would cost about $10.5 billion over the 2018-2022 period.
Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2406 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
H.R. 2406 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
