Fiscal Year 2025 President’s Budget
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 DHS President’s Budget (PB) invests in border security, immigration
law enforcement, refugee processing, IT modernization, cybersecurity, resilience for manmade
and natural disasters, as well as the DHS workforce. The FY 2025 PB provides $62.2B in
discretionary funding DHS, when controlling for a Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) fee proposal, of which $2.7B is designated emergency. The FY 2025 PB proposes $4.7B
for a Southwest Border Contingency Fund (SWBCF) to provide resources to DHS when
migration along the Southwest border conditions warrant additional capacity. An additional
$22.7B for the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) is provided for response and recovery to major
disasters and building resilience to natural hazards.
DHS reiterates the Administration October 2023 Request for funding to secure the border, build
capacity to enforce immigration law, and counter fentanyl totaling $11.8B, of which $8.7B was
for DHS. This amount includes $405.0M to hire 1,300 additional Border Patrol Agents to secure
the border, $239.0M to hire 1,000 additional CBP Officers to stop fentanyl and other contraband
Overview

from entering the U.S., $755.0M to hire an additional 1,600 Asylum Officers and support staff to
facilitate timely immigration dispositions, $100.0M for Homeland Security Investigations to
investigate and disrupt transnational criminal organizations and drug traffickers, and $849.0M
for cutting-edge detection technology at ports of entry. The FY 2025 Budget also reiterates the
Administration’s October Domestic Supplemental request, which includes $9.0B for the DRF
and $200.0M for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
Further, the Administration continues to call on Congress to pass the February bipartisan border
security agreement to provide urgently needed resources and tools to our frontline personnel to
bolster the Department’s efforts to secure and manage the border. The funding requests made in
the agreement are critical to fully meeting the operational needs facing the department.
Overview

Funding Priorities
Securing the Border and Enforcing Immigration Law
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) work in unison to secure America’s borders and enforce our immigration laws. DHS does
so while also working to provide safe, orderly pathways for lawful migration, to include through
U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The FY 2025 Budget includes $25.9B for
CBP and ICE to continue these vital functions.
• The Budget provides $2.5B for ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for additional
personnel, and technology enhancements for investigative capabilities, including an
additional $21.0M for child exploitation investigations, a vital national asset in the global
fight against transnational criminal threats.
• The Budget includes $2.0B funds to sustain 34,000 ICE immigration detention beds. The
SWBCF resources several thousand additional detention beds if conditions require.
• The Budget funds $649.0M for ICE’s Transportation and Removal program, an increase of
$225.0M, which includes air charter flights, commercial flights, and ground transportation
contracts.
• The Budget supports $360.0M for the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program, which
monitors compliance of noncitizen participants released into the interior of the United States.
• The Budget provides $210.0M and 1,221 FTE to increase the number of CBP personnel
along U.S. borders. These investments support 350 new border patrol agents, 310 additional
processing coordinators and 150 new CBP Officers to bolster situational awareness and
operational responsiveness.
• The Budget includes $127.0M for investments in border security technology and assets
between ports of entry, and $86.0M for CBP air and marine operational support central to
efforts to secure the border.
Southwest Border Enforcement Capacity Flexibility
The FY 2025 Budget proposes an innovative $4.7B SWBCF to allow the Department to respond
to the ever-changing conditions on the southwest border. The fund would match appropriated
amounts to observed conditions at multiple points during the year rather than providing funds at
the beginning of the year observing if conditions evolve to meet the funding level. The fund will
receive appropriations on a quarterly basis only if pre-defined conditions are met. Resources in
the SWBCF may be transferred to CBP, ICE, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) for critical operations like transportation, medical care, soft-sided facilities, and Shelter
and Service Program grants.
Supporting Refugee Processing and a Fair, Orderly, and Humane Immigration System
The Budget includes $145.0M and 641 FTE to fully support the USCIS International and
Refugee Affairs Division, a partner in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
Protecting the Homeland from the Threat of Weapons of Mass Terrorism
The President’s Budget provides $418.0M to support the mission of the Countering the Weapons
of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office, which ensures the security of the Homeland from all types
of terrorist threats.
Overview

Security the Cities.
• The Budget provides $138.0M to develop, acquire, test, evaluate, and deploy CBRN
detection technology and equipment to governmental operators across the United States, at
the Federal and SLTT levels.
Investing in Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Protection

activity to Federal networks and critical infrastructure and collaborates with SLTT partners
through engagement, planning, and capacity building services, to manage cybersecurity risk for
national security, public health and safety, and economic security.
• The Budget includes $470.0M for the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program to
enhance the security posture of Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) networks by
providing agencies with the capabilities to identify and prioritize cybersecurity risks and
vulnerabilities.
• The Budget provides $394.0M for the Joint Collaborative Environment (JCE) allowing the
continued build of the Cyber Analytics and Data System (CADS), that provides a robust and
scalable analytic environment capable integrating mission visibility data set and providing
cyber operators with visualization tools and advanced analytic capabilities.
• The Budget includes $116.0M to help ensure CISA has the required funding for staffing,
processes, and technology to successfully implement the Cyber Incident Reporting for
Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA).
Responsible Deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

investment and expansion in line with Executive Order 14110, Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy
Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.
Investing in and Building a Resilient Nation
In support of the Administration’s efforts to build a resilient Nation, the FY 2025 Budget invests
in grant and disaster assistance programs.
• The Budget includes $22.7B for the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) - Major Disasters, which
enables FEMA to fund authorized disaster support activities. The DRF Base requirements
total $811.0M and will be funded from prior years’ resources.
• To promote and sustain a prepared Nation, the Budget provides approximately $3.2B in
FEMA grants supporting SLTT partnerships to improve disaster resilience and implement

preparedness strategies and includes an increase for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program
(NSGP).
• The Budget includes a $56.0M and 34 FTE increase to support a variety of FEMA climate
resilience initiatives, including the Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis Program,
FEMA’s Building Codes Strategy, Climate Adaptation, and Environmental Planning and
Historical Preservation process improvements.
Coast Guard Presence in the Indo-Pacific Region
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is a vital part of ensuring America’s security and advancing the
Administration’s national security strategy. Increasing USCG’s presence in the Indo-Pacific
region is critical to that strategy, the investments detailed below will enable a stable, free, and
open region, and solidify the United States as a trusted partner in the region.
• The FY 2025 Budget includes $200.0M, which expands the program of record and funds
construction of two Fast Response Cutters in support of the Indo-Pacific Strategy.

Countering Fentanyl
In addition to the investments proposed in the October supplemental request, the Department’s
FY 2025 Budget includes investments in the fight against fentanyl. Through investments in Non-
Intrusive Inspection (NII) and sprints such as Operations Artemis, Rolling Wave, and Argus,
CBP and ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) have increased the interdiction of
fentanyl, fentanyl precursors, and collateral contraband such as pill presses. The Budget also
includes a legislative package to cement the Administration’s Unity Agenda Strategy to combat
the fentanyl epidemic. More concretely, new authorities are required to close key loopholes that
traffickers exploit and expand penalties for those who engage in trafficking deadly fentanyl into
our communities.
Special Event and 2024 Presidential Campaign Security
The FY 2025 Budget includes $2.9B in net discretionary funding for U.S. Secret Service (USSS)
to continuously evaluate threats and reallocate resources based on the changing threat
environment.
• The Secret Service by law must provide protection and security for “major presidential and
vice-presidential candidates, and their spouses.” Presidential campaigns, significantly
increase the protective workload and the budget includes $70.0M to adequately resource

FY 2025 Budget Highlights
DHS Medical Information Exchange……………………….……………………$2.2M, 0 FTE
The Medical Information eXchange (MIX) will be the next-generation information technology
backbone for a DHS-wide Electronic Health Record (EHR) and will support interoperability
across Components’ individual EHR systems and fill gaps in other medical information systems

currently in sustainment). As part of the EHR requirement and other mission needs, the MIX
portfolio will also deliver capabilities to enable information sharing and analysis across the
extended medical and public health community. This system will assist DHS in its significant
responsibilities related to outbreak response, disease surveillance, and national health security
and provide data-driven decision support.
Supply Chain Resilience Center………………………………………………….$2.0M, 3 FTE

Analysis and Operations
Description
The Analysis and Operations appropriation provides
resources to support the Office of Intelligence and
Analysis (I&A) and the Office of Homeland Security
Situational Awareness (OSA), formally known as the
Office of Operations Coordination. This appropriation
includes both National Intelligence Program (NIP) and
non-NIP funds.
Responsibilities
The I&A mission is to equip the Homeland Security
Enterprise (HSE) with the intelligence and information
necessary to keep the Homeland safe, secure, and
resilient. I&A executes this mission by integrating
intelligence into operations across the DHS
Components, our partners in State and local
government, as well as the private sector, to identify,
mitigate, and respond to threats.
The mission of OSA is to provide information sharing, situational awareness, and a common
operating picture to the HSE and the full spectrum of incident management efforts (i.e.,
prevention, protection, response, and recovery). OSA supports the DHS mission by maintaining
24/7 operation of the National Operations Center (NOC), enabling multi-agency fusion of law
enforcement, national intelligence, emergency response, and private sector real time reporting,
and by partnering with other DHS Components and Federal, State, local, tribal, territorial
(FSLTT), foreign, private sector, and international partners. To augment NOC Watch
capabilities, OSA sections also focus on enhancing our partnerships and collaboration via
engagements, establishing two-way information flows, and automating information, and creating
augmented reporting to provide additional operational context and broaden understanding about
non-incident, homeland security priority topics.
While I&A and OSA are distinct in their missions, they collaborate with other DHS Components
as well as FSLTT, foreign, and private sector partners, to enhance intelligence analysis,
information sharing, incident management support, and situational awareness.
Service to the Public
I&A and OSA promote improved analysis and sharing of threat and incident information
providing all levels of FSLTT government, the private sector, and the public with timely
information concerning threats and hazards to the Nation.
I&A analyzes intelligence and information about homeland security threats and serves as the
interface between the Intelligence Community (IC), FSLTT, and private sector partners on
homeland security intelligence and information. Through warnings, actionable intelligence, and
analysis provided by I&A, DHS leadership, DHS Components, Federal policymakers and law

enforcement, IC partners, and frontline law enforcement, public safety personnel, and security
personnel all have the information they need to identify and mitigate threats to the homeland.
The Under Secretary for I&A holds six Department-wide roles: (1) the DHS Chief Intelligence
Officer, chairing the Homeland Security Intelligence Council and managing the DHS
Intelligence Enterprise (IE); (2) the DHS Information Sharing and Safeguarding Executive,
enhancing information sharing while protecting information from unauthorized disclosure; (3)
the DHS Counterintelligence Executive, leading the DHS Counterintelligence Program; (4) the
DHS Watch-listing Executive, managing the DHS Watch-listing Program; (5) the Executive
Agent for the DHS State, local, and regional Fusion Center Initiative, overseeing support for
State and local fusion centers; and (6) the DHS Counterterrorism Coordinator, developing and
coordinating DHS-wide counterterrorism policy.
OSA manages the NOC, providing critical awareness to partners at all levels of the HSE,
presenting information in context for decision support, and facilitating executive
communications. The NOC provides rapid notification to both DHS leadership and the White
House Situation Room.
Additionally, OSA provides situational awareness for partners across a wide range of homeland
security activities, threats, incidents, and events by gathering information from a variety of
sources. The foundation of this situational awareness is the collection, assessment, integration,
and exchange of information and intelligence - obtained from open sources, private sector
information sharing, law enforcement and operational reporting, and the Intelligence Community
addressing issues relevant to homeland security.
FY 2023 Accomplishments
I&A
• I&A produced hundreds of analytic products for the IC, FSLTT, and private sector partners,
addressing homeland threats such as cyber, terrorism, Nation State-sponsored threats, and
transnational organized crime. Over 60 percent of I&A’s products leveraged DHS- or SLTT-
generated information to provide unique insight into threat analysis. Moreover, nearly 85
percent of I&A analysis was produced at the Secret- or Unclassified-level to ensure broad
consumption by partners nationwide.
• I&A produced over 2,000 raw intelligence reports to inform analysts and customers of
unique homeland intelligence and enable all-source analytic products.
• I&A achieved full privacy compliance for the Intelligence Data Environment for Analytics
(IDEA), the unclassified advanced analytics platform predicated on national intelligence.
Additionally, all compliance and oversight documentation are complete in anticipation of
receiving the funding to perform the technical work required to establish the IDEA
capability.
• The I&A-facilitated Data Access Review Council concluded four agreements authorizing the
sharing of multiple Departmental datasets with IC partners for national security and
intelligence purposes. I&A’s role as a data broker between and among various FSLTT
partners ensures that unique information is made available to a broad community of
collectors, analysts, and decision makers.
21
• I&A’s National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Program Office grew FSLTT
partners’ capacity by 125 percent through its instructor certification program with over 400
partners nationwide who teach agencies and community members how to identify, report,
share, and mitigate threats of terrorism and mass violence.
• I&A strengthened its engagement and liaison activities with FSLTT, public and private
sector partners. I&A conducted the 2023 Public-Private Analytic Exchange Program with
over 570 registered attendees from the Federal government, IC, State fusion centers, and the
private sector. This program improved collective understanding of emerging threats and
boosted public-private collaboration.
• I&A engaged with approximately 20,000 partners across the Nation, on threat topics such as
terrorism and transnational organized crime. This caused partners to conduct dozens of
operational activities, including investigations, arrests, and strategic actions like developing
new policies or procedures for information sharing or vetting potential threat actors.
• I&A strengthen the DHS Counterintelligence Program by diversifying staffing, improving
structural coordination, and expanding training and investments in technology. I&A
onboarded two Counterintelligence liaison officers, one from the Central Intelligence Agency
and one from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which resulted in more effective sharing of
sensitive information and mitigation of counterintelligence threats.
OSA
• The NOC provided situational awareness and leadership notifications to DHS and its
homeland security partners by monitoring and reporting on more than 7,000 items of interest
ranging from suspicious activities to natural disasters while completing 7,402 requests for
situational awareness support from partners.
• OSA, in collaboration with DHS Operational Components, established the DHS Senior
Leader Situational Awareness Forum to promote cohesion and share crosscutting, longer-
range operational situational awareness information. The forum conducted snap meetings for
emergent issues to ensure broader understanding of significant incidents or events.
• The NOC established and led three forums comprised of Directors from partner Operations
Centers: the International Forum (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United
Kingdom), the Interagency Forum (40 Federal Operations Centers), and the DHS Forum
(principal DHS Operations Centers). The forums developed procedures for collaboration,
information sharing and best practice exchanges among the Operations Centers.
• OSA provided strategic-level support to Secretary-level priorities involving multiple
Components such as: supporting the CBP-led Southwest Border Coordination Center to help
manage migrant flows; assisting with establishing the DHS National Security Presidential
Memorandum -36 Operational Executives Group to facilitate weapon of mass destruction
incident coordination; and partnering with multiple DHS agencies to support the creation of
an OSA-managed DHS Incident Support Team, to deliver expanded situational awareness at
the onset of emerging national-level homeland security incidents.

Transportation Security Administration
Description
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
was established by the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act to provide security for the Nation’s
transportation system. TSA is an intelligence-driven,
national security organization that combines the skill
of its workforce, evolving security procedures, and
technology to optimize resource utilization and
mission effectiveness. TSA’s FY 2025 Budget
continues the FY 2023 initiative to increase TSA pay
levels, making TSA pay comparable to private sector
and Federal government employees in similar

efforts. Additionally, continued investment in
enhanced security capabilities and technology will further strengthen TSA’s ability to employ
risk-based security measures to actively combat evolving threats to critical transportation
infrastructure. TSA focuses its efforts in three key areas: 1) Improving Security and
Safeguarding the Transportation Systems, 2) Accelerating Action, and 3) Committing to Our
People.
Responsibilities
TSA’s mission is to protect the Nation’s transportation
systems to ensure the free and secure movement of people
and commerce. In close collaboration with partners and
stakeholders, TSA pursues its mission with integrity,
respect, and commitment. TSA’s specific responsibilities
include the following:
• Ensuring effective screening of all air passengers,
baggage, and cargo on passenger and cargo-only
aircrafts.
• Detect, deter, and defeat hostile acts targeting air
carriers, airports, passengers, and crew through
deployment of the Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) internationally and domestically and
through the application of other layered security measures.
• Working with international partners to elevate transportation security standards globally.
• Managing security risks of surface transportation systems by working with public and private
sector owners and operators.
TSA secures the United States transportation network. Within the aviation network, TSA is
responsible for the security of 440 Federalized airports servicing over 23,000 domestic flights

FY 2025 Budget Highlights
The Budget aligns resources with TSA’s strategy to improve security and safeguard the
transportation system.
Annualization of Pay Plan Adjustment ................................................................. $1.5B, 0 FTE
The annualization of the TSA Pay Plan ensures the funding necessary to cover year two and
three increases, including within band increases and career ladder advancements, to fairly
compensate TSA employees in line with their General Schedule counterparts.
43
Passenger Volume ........................................................................................ $356.0M, 3,473 FTE
TSA expects passenger volume growth in FY 2025 to follow the historical growth rate of 4.5
percent averaged over the 2014-2019 period. This Budget is aimed at bolstering airport security
effectiveness by facilitating the hiring of additional Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) for
airport checkpoints, with the goal of further reducing passenger wait times while maintaining
robust security measures.
Checkpoint Property Screening System (CPSS) ................................................ $89.6M,0 FTE
As part of TSA’s enhanced aviation security infrastructure, CPSS will deploy Computed
Tomography (CT) systems that add dimension (3D images) and density to objects within a
carry-on item, providing TSOs with a better ability to identify and detect threats. The Budget
will procure and deploy CT systems for accessible property screening at airport checkpoints
nationwide.
Transportation Security Equipment (TSE) Sustainment.................................. $39.0M, 0 FTE
To meet TSA’s strategic objective of strengthening the effectiveness of its core capabilities in
aviation security, TSE maintenance is essential. These funds support the ongoing operational
capabilities of screening technology equipment at all Federalized airports, ensuring efficient
baggage screening to minimize delays and wait times for passengers.
Cybersecurity ...................................................................................................... $15.0M, 46 FTE
The Budget will bolster TSA’s initiatives to enhance cybersecurity support across all
transportation modes, develop threat-informed policies and regulations, and enforce compliance
with expanding and evolving cyber regulations. Given that cybersecurity threats represent a
critical risk to transportation, allocating additional resources will empower TSA to enhance
cybersecurity resilience, mitigate cyber risks, and offer structural oversight and regulatory
guidance.
National Deployment Office Travel .................................................................... $10.0M, 0 FTE
The National Deployment Office (NDO) serves an internal reserve force with dedicated
resources available for short-notice deployment in circumstances that require a higher number
of security personnel resources. The Budget allows for TSA to be able to meet increased
passenger volume that will occur at the checkpoints during major events.
Customer Experience.............................................................................................. $3.3M, 6 FTE
The Budget allows for TSA to design, implement, measure, and report on targeted customer
experience and employee experience improvements across several focus areas (overall
satisfaction, trust/confidence, service/effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, process/ease, and
people/employees) in order to transform the TSA customer experience for over 858 million
passengers and over 50,000 members of the screening workforce.
FY 2025 Major Decreases
Eliminate Exit Lane Staffing..................................................................... ($111.0M), 1,285 FTE
The Budget proposes transitioning access control at exit lanes to airport authorities and
commercial airports under Federal regulatory authorities, which will result in a savings of
$111.0M and 1,285 FTE. Staffing exit lanes is not a screening function, but rather falls under
44
the purview of State and local control. In 2014, the Bi-Partisan Budget Act required TSA to
continue its responsibilities for those exit lanes staffed as of December 1, 2013. Legislation will
be provided to Congress proposing transitioning the responsibility from TSA to airport
operators. TSA will work with airports to integrate exit lane security into their perimeter
security plans and assess those plans regularly. This proposal will enable TSA to focus its
resources on screening functions and risk-based security measures, properly utilizing the
sophisticated, technical skillset of Transportation Security Officers.
Eliminate VIPR Program ...............................................................................($68.2M), 294 FTE
TSA’s Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams conduct risk-based, periodic
random deployments in various modes of transportation and consist of Federal Air Marshals with
radiological detection equipment which are allocated nationwide and provide deployable law
enforcement augmentation and active threat response to the traveling public and critical
infrastructure within the Nation’s transportation system. The existing VIPR personnel will be
absorbed into other TSA Law Enforcement positions. The proposed elimination of the VIPR
teams will still require State and local law enforcement agencies continue to provide a presence
at the same locations where VIPR teams would have been deployed.
Eliminate LEO Reimbursement Program …..................................................($47.2M), 12 FTE
Law Enforcement Officers (LEO) at commercial airports is the legal responsibility of local and
State jurisdictions. The LEO Reimbursement Program provided Federal funding to partially
reimburse airports for dedicated, on-site law enforcement support of passenger screening
checkpoints throughout the United States. TSA seeks to eliminate funding this program as law
enforcement is the responsibility of local and State jurisdictions.
Eliminate Canine Reimbursement Program ....................................................($34.1M), 0 FTE
The Budget offers the option for current LEO participants to convert to a recently established
No Cost Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) in which the participant fully funds the
operations of their canine teams as TSA looks to cease paying a stipend for services. The
participant would continue receiving the TSA training and certification and would still have the
responsibility to maintain training standards and response times that are currently outlined
within the agreement.
FAMS Reduction .................................................................................................($19.6M), 0 FTE
The Budget supports FAMs who deliver essential protective and law enforcement services for
domestic and international air travel, as well as operational air travel, as well as operational
infrastructure requirements, internal business processes, and the training and travel expenses of
FAMs. TSA has evaluated the projections for FAMs attrition in FY 2025 and determined less
funding is required to sustain the current level of FTE and projected and anticipated on-board
personnel.
On-Person Screening Algorithm Development................................................ (18.7M), 0 FTE
To enhance security outcomes as TSA’s risk landscape evolves, it must continue to advance
global transportation security standards, a major strategic goal. By enhancing security policy
processes and leveraging and incorporating innovations in artificial intelligence, TSA can
increase the speed and efficiency with which it adapts to the threat environment. The FY 2023
Enacted provided $18.7M for the deployment of Low Probability of False Alarm (Low Pfa)
algorithm to AITs qualified in FY 2022, providing a 50 percent reduction in false alarms,
45
reducing the need for physical screening of passengers to clear alarms, along with procuring and
deploying a hardware and software performance upgrade kit for existing AIT systems.

U.S. Coast Guard
Description
Since 1790, the Coast Guard has safeguarded the
American people and promoted national security,
border security, and economic prosperity in a
complex and evolving maritime environment. The
Coast Guard saves those in peril and protects the
Nation from all maritime threats.
Responsibilities
As a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, a law
enforcement organization, a regulatory agency, a
member of the U.S. Intelligence Community, and a
first responder, the Coast Guard employs a unique
mix of authorities, broad jurisdiction, flexible
operational capabilities, and a network of
partnerships to support national security and execute
its 11 statutory missions. The Coast Guard is the
principal Federal agency responsible for maritime
safety, security, and environmental stewardship in
U.S. ports and inland waterways, along more than
95,000 miles of U.S. coastline, throughout the 4.5
million square miles of U.S. Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ), and on the high seas.
The Coast Guard’s 11 statutory missions are
managed within six major operational mission programs: Maritime Response, Maritime Law
Enforcement, Marine Transportation System Management, Maritime Prevention, Maritime
Security Operations, and Defense Operations.
The Maritime Response mission program seeks to
mitigate the consequences of marine casualties and
disastrous events. The Coast Guard is the Nation’s
premier maritime first responder, minimizing loss of life
and property by searching for and rescuing persons in
distress. The Coast Guard is an agile, adaptive force
capable of rapidly mobilizing to provide an immediate
response to maritime incidents in coordination with, and
in support of, Federal, State, local, territorial, and tribal
agencies, as well as private sector partners.

The Maritime Law Enforcement mission program
seeks to protect America's maritime borders, defend
the Nation's maritime sovereignty, facilitate
legitimate use of the waterways, and suppress
violations of U.S. Federal law on, under, and over the
seas to include countering illegal migration and
Transnational Organized Crime.
The Marine Transportation System Management
mission program seeks to ensure a safe, secure, and
environmentally sound waterways system. The Coast
Guard works in concert with other Federal, State,
local, tribal, and territorial agencies, the marine industry, maritime associations, and the
international community to safeguard the efficient movement of $5.4T in annual economic
activity and support 30.8 million jobs across the Nation’s Marine Transportation System (MTS).
The Maritime Prevention mission program seeks to prevent marine casualties and property
losses, minimize security risks, and protect the marine environment. The Coast Guard does so by
developing and enforcing Federal regulations, conducting safety and security inspections, and
analyzing port security risk assessments worldwide.
The Maritime Security Operations mission program encompasses activities to detect, deter,
prevent, and disrupt terrorist attacks, and other criminal acts in the maritime domain. It includes
antiterrorism, response, and select recovery operations. This
mission entails the operational element of the Coast Guard's
Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security (PWCS) mission
and complements Maritime Response and Prevention efforts.
The Defense Operations mission program exercises the
Coast Guard's unique authorities and capabilities to support
the national defense strategy. Every day, the Coast Guard is
deployed around the globe in support of Combatant
Commanders to protect the security of our Nation.
Service to the Public
As a maritime nation, the United States depends on a strong and agile Coast Guard to enhance
the Nation’s maritime safety, security, and economic prosperity. For 233 years, the Coast Guard
has applied its broad authorities and capabilities to save lives, protect our waters, and defend our
national interest. As challenges to our national security and global influence grow more complex,
the need for a more adaptive and connected Coast Guard has never been greater. By confronting
threats to the homeland wherever they emerge – from the Arctic to the Indo-Pacific – the Coast
Guard secures our borders, saves lives, counters malign actor behavior, prevents terrorism, and
reduces the physical and cyber security risks faced by the Nation. The Coast Guard remains
locally based, nationally responsive, globally impactful, and Semper Paratus – “Always Ready.”

The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act)
authorizes the Federal Government to
provide assistance to SLTTs, eligible private
nonprofit organizations, and individuals
affected by an incident that receives a
Presidential major disaster or emergency
declaration. The Disaster Recovery Reform
Act of 2018 (DRRA, Division D of P.L. 115-
254) includes reforms to improve FEMA’s
ability to carry out its mission and better
prepare the Nation for disasters. FEMA
continues to make progress implementing its
provisions.
FEMA also delivers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), pre-disaster and post-disaster
mitigation grant programs, flood mapping, disaster planning, exercise management and
coordination, urban search and rescue coordination, the Homeland Security Grant Program, the
Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, and other grants, training, and response
exercise programs. These programs and services support FEMA stakeholders in reducing risk
and improving the Nation’s disaster resilience. FEMA also leads continuity planning, provides
guidance, and leads operations for the Federal Executive Branch to minimize disruption to
essential functions and services during disasters.
Service to the Public
FEMA supports and empowers disaster survivors, including individuals, households,
organizations, and communities to help themselves before, during, and after disasters. FEMA
helps communities to increase resilience to disasters through effective and practical steps that
enhance capacity at all levels in the face of unpredictable and ever-evolving threats and hazards.
The agency executes its mission consistent with its core values of compassion, fairness, integrity,
and respect outlined in Publication 1, We are FEMA. The better prepared citizens are to assist
themselves and others in times of need, the stronger the Nation will be to endure future
emergencies and disasters.
FEMA works to find innovative, responsible ways to make survivor and grantee services more
efficient and customer friendly. FEMA aims to be ready and equipped to meet the needs of
individuals, communities, and SLTT partners to accelerate
disaster response and recovery. Through the Disaster Relief
Fund (DRF), FEMA offers critical support to families and
communities devasted by various disasters, enabling them to
reconstruct and recover from the impacts. Additionally,
FEMA’s role extends beyond immediate disaster response.
The agency plays a pivotal role in administering hazard
mitigation programs, which are designed to minimize the
risks and effects of disasters on life and property.
Furthermore, FEMA is responsible for managing the NFIP,
which offers a proactive approach to reducing the long-term
risks associated with both floods and other similar hazards.

FY 2023 Accomplishments
Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management
• FEMA leveraged satellite infrastructure capabilities to deliver Enterprise Service Provider
and Public Internet Access tools to deployed personnel and survivors at 14 disaster sites,
three emergency communication exercises, and other special events. FEMA provided
uninterrupted 24/7/365 satellite communication services, including essential communication
to impacted disaster sites suffering from compromised or destroyed infrastructure.
• FEMA deployed a modernized and scalable Accessible Communication for Survivor Support
Helpline to enable every deployed Disaster Recovery Center responder with access to deaf
interpreters and language translation services. FEMA also ensured the redesigned mobile
application was fully accessible for all survivors, including individuals with disabilities.
• The Agency established FEMA Integration Team (FIT) Preparedness Specialists as FEMA
liaison officers on-site with SLTT partners, fast-tracking integration efforts and frontline
responder availability. FIT Leads can support States within minutes, reducing travel time
while constantly advancing Federal, State, and local emergency response relationships.
• FEMA established a Tribal Cybersecurity Grant Program making $18.0M available to Tribal
Nations, building the first-ever cybersecurity resilience capabilities across SLTT partners.
Lead Whole of Community in Climate Resilience
• The Agency committed unprecedented financial assistance in climate resilience funding,
including project selections totaling $2.0B for resilience projects supported by the Building
Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program and $642.0M for the Flood Mitigation
Assistance program. This funding will fuel crucial mitigation projects in the future and will
ultimately decrease the nationwide disaster risk posture in 55 States and territories.
• The United States Fire Administration (USFA) completed a prototype of its web application
tool that will allow public stakeholders to visualize where wildland urban interface
communities are located based on relative proximities of vegetative fuels and human
development. The tool is intended to increase public awareness of wildfire hazards and direct
users to resources for community risk reduction, outreach and mitigation. Future versions of
the tool will incorporate additional data sources and capabilities.
• The Agency conducted its first Hurricane Readiness Week, uniting 150 SLTT partners in
validating capability gaps prior to the 2023 Hurricane Season and building hurricane related
climate resilience by establishing a network of awareness across levels of government.
Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation
• FEMA responded to 100 new disasters providing comprehensive and compassionate disaster
response efforts to major events including the Maui wildfires, Hurricane Idalia devastation,
and tornadic destruction in Mississippi and Arkansas. During the Maui response, FEMA
coordinated a comprehensive Urban Search and Rescue deployment, including five task
forces, 40 Human Remain Detection Canine teams and 500,000 pounds of equipment.
• Under the Public Assistance Program, FEMA awarded over $11.8B to help rebuild and
improve infrastructure foundational to the stability of the United States. Additionally, FEMA
piloted two new Public Assistance Navigator Teams – in Hawaii and New Hampshire – to
develop a targeted, on-site approach to municipal assistance.
68
• To mitigate fraud activity, FEMA conducted substantiated fraud investigations that
successfully prevented $22.2M (equivalent to 2.4 percent per $1.0M of approved Individual
Assistance funds) from disbursement.
• FEMA conducted increased outreach and developed simplified application materials to
remove barriers to applying for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, resulting in a 50
percent increase in applications submitted.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
Description
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
is responsible for administering the Nation’s lawful
immigration system.
In any given year, USCIS receives millions of
immigration benefit applications and petitions. In FY
2023, USCIS received more than 10.8 million
benefit requests and completed more than 11 million
cases, both record-breaking numbers in the agency’s
history. Through approximately 248 domestic and
international offices, USCIS processes immigrant
and nonimmigrant petitions; lawful permanent
residence and naturalization applications; asylum,
refugee, and intercountry adoption applications; and
employment authorization documents. It also
manages E-Verify, conducts administrative fraud
investigations, and works side-by-side with law
enforcement and intelligence partners to help ensure the security of the American people and the
integrity of the Nation’s immigration system.
Service to the Public
Our Mission: USCIS upholds America’s promise as a Nation of welcome and possibility with
fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.
Responsibilities
USCIS adjudicates immigration benefit requests in
an efficient, accurate, consistent, and professional
manner while also safeguarding national security
and public safety. USCIS processes more than 50
different types of immigration benefit applications
and petitions. The well-trained and dedicated USCIS
workforce processes immigration requests on a case-
by-case basis with quality and integrity.
Each day, USCIS employees domestically and
abroad:
• Ensure that immigration policies, regulations,
strategies, processes, and communications
support legal immigration and promote
integration, inclusion, and citizenship.
• Meet a growing humanitarian need by those seeking assistance or protection from
oppression, violence, and other urgent circumstances.

• Engage the public and stakeholders to promote transparency, communicate policies and
procedures clearly, and create mechanisms for sharing concerns and recommendations.
• Conduct security checks and verify identity to detect, deter, and address national security,
public safety, and fraud concerns; and
• Leverage new technology to modernize USCIS programs and processes to enhance
efficiency and customer service.
FY 2023 Accomplishments
• USCIS decreased its net backlog by 15 percent.
In FY 2023, the backlog was 4.3 million cases,
down more than 760,000 from the end of FY
2022. This occurred even as the agency
experienced a record year in filings.
• This was the first year that USCIS reduced the
backlog since the onset of the COVID-19
pandemic. The slower backlog growth rate in
FY 2022 (16 percent) and decline in FY 2023
(15 percent) were driven by an ongoing hiring
surge, a net change of 1,581 adjudication and
support staff onboarded over the prior FY, and
an agency-wide drive to find new efficiencies
in case processing.
• USCIS established internal cycle time goals for 25 forms, to guide the backlog reduction
efforts. USCIS increased capacity, improved technology, and expanded staffing to achieve
these new goals by the end of FY 2023. USCIS achieved the cycle time goal for nine of these
forms, including naturalization, and reduced cycle times for all but the I-360, Petition for
Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant.
• In FY 2023, USCIS hosted seven Afghan Support Centers in locations throughout the United
States providing assistance to over 5,000 individuals.
• USCIS continued to provide support to the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) parole process,
including confirming the financial suitability of approximately 117,000 supporters. In FY
2023, more than 150,000 Ukrainian nationals and their immediate family members have been
paroled into the United States under the U4U process.
• USCIS developed processes to expand lawful pathways for certain nationals of Cuba, Haiti,
Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV), and confirmed the financial suitability of approximately
298,000 CHNV supporters.
• USCIS implemented new family reunification parole (FRP) processes for individuals from
Columbia, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, and modernized family reunification
parole processes for Cuba and Haiti. In FY 2023, over 26,000 invitations were sent to eligible
petitioners, inviting them to submit Form I-134A to initiate an FRP process. Petitioners filed
over 7,000 Forms I-134A as a part of FRP.

• USCIS completed more than 145,000 credible fear and reasonable fear screenings to screen
migrants arriving at the southwest border and ensure those found to have a fear were not
removed to countries where they would face persecution or torture.
• USCIS began accepting TPS initial and re-registration applications under new designations,
extensions, or redesignations for Afghanistan, Cameroon, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Haiti,
Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Ukraine, and Yemen, and announced redesignation for
Venezuela. USCIS received 465,000 initial and re-registration applications for this group of
countries and approved 254,000.
• On Jan. 29, 2023, USCIS opened the Humanitarian, Adjustment, Removing Conditions, and
Travel Documents Center (HART), the first service center to focus solely on humanitarian
and related cases. These applications affect the most vulnerable of noncitizens, and the
opening of this service center has made a positive impact in the quality, timeliness, and scale
of USCIS’ humanitarian processing abilities.

FY 2025 Budget Highlights
International and Refugee Affairs Division …..............................................$145.0M, 641 FTE
The FY 2025 President’s Budget includes $145.0M and 641 FTE to continue support of RAIO’s
International and Refugee Affairs Division (IRAD) operations. IRAD administers the U.S.
Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), along with the other USRAP partners; oversees USCIS
international operations; and manages certain domestic and international parole adjudications.
IRAD is responsible for interviewing and vetting refugee applicants for possible resettlement to
the United States. To remain aligned with its Department of State and Department of Health and
Human Services partners in USRAP, USCIS continues to request Congressional support to
administers its programs. This funding will support ongoing efforts to create the next generation
of refugee processing in an electronic and secure environment, maximize remote technologies as
appropriate; provide timely and in-depth training to adjudicators; and meet the ever-changing
demands of shifting populations of vulnerable refugee populations worldwide.
Employment Status Verification (ESV) …................................................... $110.2M, 287 FTE
The FY 2025 President’s Budget includes $110.2M and 287 FTE to continue supporting E-
Verify. E-Verify is a web-based system that allows enrolled employers to confirm the eligibility
of their employees to work in the United States. E-Verify employers verify the identity and
77
employment eligibility of newly hired employees by electronically matching information
provided by employees on the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against records
available in DHS, Social Security Administration (SSA), Department of State (DoS), and State
and local systems (DMVs).
Citizenship and Integration Grants……………………………………………. $10.0M, 0 FTE
The FY 2025 President’s Budget continues to provide $10.0M in grants to organizations that
help prepare lawful permanent residents (LPRs) for naturalization and promote prospective
citizens’ integration into American civic life by funding educational programs designed to
increase their knowledge of English, U.S. history, and civics. In addition, through these grant
opportunities, USCIS expands the availability of high-quality citizenship preparation services
and provides opportunities for immigrants to gain knowledge and training necessary to promote
their integration into the fabric of American society. Increased learning opportunities and
additional citizenship instruction resources in communities help immigrants gain the tools to
become successful citizens and meet their responsibilities as U.S. citizens.

Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers
Description
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers
(FLETC) is a technical training school for law
enforcement professionals. Currently, approximately
127 Federal agencies, and many more State and local
organizations, rely on FLETC for all or some of their
law enforcement training. Since its establishment in
1970, FLETC has provided training in subjects
integral to the performance of law enforcement
functions across the Federal Government, such as
firearms, driving, tactics, investigations, and legal
training. FLETC also enables Federal Partner
Organizations to deliver training unique to their
missions at FLETC training sites.
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers,
through strategic partnerships, prepare the Federal law enforcement community to safeguard
America’s people, property, and institutions. To execute this mission, the organization serves
three enterprise-level roles: producer, resource, and steward. FLETC produces law enforcement
training, products, services, systems, research, infrastructure, and expertise to meet the
operational needs of Federal law enforcement personnel. As a resource, FLETC provides access
to what it produces to State, local, tribal, private, and international law enforcement stakeholders.
As a steward, FLETC is the U.S. Government’s executive agent of Federal resources for Federal
and SLTT law enforcement personnel. Effectively performing its mission allows the organization
to achieve its vision to be the Nation’s enterprise resource for Federal law enforcement training.
Responsibilities
FLETC was founded with two complementary goals: to develop and establish consistency in the
content and delivery of Federal law enforcement training, and to leverage the advantages of a
centrally managed, universally accessible training infrastructure.
Headquartered in Glynco, Georgia, FLETC and its
Federal Partner Organizations annually train an
average of 66,000 students at four training delivery
sites occupying 3,500 acres in New Mexico, South
Carolina, Maryland, and Georgia. A typical day will
find FLETC and partner organization’s actively
engaged in delivering, exercising, and evaluating the
transfer of critical law enforcement knowledge and
skills to an average of 3,700 students, with peak days
reaching more than 4,600 students, most of whom are
in-residence at one of FLETC’s training delivery
points.

FLETC’s strategic vision is to serve as a national resource for law enforcement training,
committing to a course of continuous cooperation and collaboration with clients, while balancing
the needs of all stakeholders in administering its training programs.
In addition to basic training, FLETC leverages the expertise of its training partners to offer the
most comprehensive inventory of specialized and advanced training programs in law
enforcement. SLTT law enforcement personnel are an integral part of the homeland security
community. As a resource to them, FLETC provides specialized and advanced training at its
training sites and exports training programs to SLTT agencies throughout the country. FLETC
serves DHS’s international mission through participation and leadership in the International Law
Enforcement Academies in Botswana, El Salvador, Thailand, Hungary, Ghana, and New
Mexico. FLETC provides training and capacity-building activities overseas on a reimbursable
basis with the Department of State, hosting international law enforcement personnel at four
domestic training sites, and engaging with international stakeholders in research and the
exchange of best practices and subject matter expertise.
Service to the Public
In addition to training, FLETC has become a powerful force for interagency collaboration and a
repository for the accumulated experience and expertise of the Federal law enforcement
community it serves.
With over 50 years of continuous operation, FLETC
has become a career convergence point for Federal law
enforcement practitioners. Most Federal officers attend
an entry-level, basic training program at FLETC early
in their careers, and, over the course of their careers,
attend several advanced training programs. Many
former students return to FLETC as instructors for
their agencies for multi-year assignments, or as
permanent staff after completing their agency careers.
Enabled by the quality of its people and commitment to
academic rigor, FLETC develops best-in-the-business,
accredited law enforcement training programs. Today,
and every day, tens of thousands of Federal law
enforcement personnel, armed with the training they received at FLETC, anticipate, prevent, and
respond to events endangering our Nation’s people, property, and institutions. Throughout the
homeland and abroad, former FLETC students – including U.S. agents, officers, investigators,
inspectors, and screeners – assess, plan, patrol, inspect, examine, apprehend, investigate,
interview, and perform thousands of other specialized tasks as they contribute to fulfilling their
agencies’ missions.

FY 2025 Budget Highlights
State, local, tribal, and territorial Support ..................................................... $181.4M, 51 FTE
The FY 2025 President’s Budget continues to support State and local agencies to build personnel
and technical capabilities and increase knowledge regarding CBRN threats and incidents.
CWMD provides training, exercise support, equipment, technical expertise, and technical
assistance to first responders and law enforcement through longstanding programs such as
BioWatch, Mobile Detection Deployment Program, Chemical Support, and Securing the Cities.
The FY 2025 President’s Budget includes an increase of $24.3M, for training, exercises, and
chemical defense technical assistance to SLTT partners and to support an adaptive approach to
environmental biodetection with the goal to enhance operational capabilities and target areas of
highest national security risk.
Developing and Deploying Detection Technologies ......................................... $138.25, 57 FTE
CWMD researches, develops, acquires, tests, evaluates, and deploys specialized CBRN detection
technologies and equipment to FSLTT operators across the United States as part of a layered
defense against these threats. On a national scale, CWMD develops, procures, and deploys
RPMs at all U.S. ports of entry to detect and prevent attacks. CWMD researches, acquires, tests,
and evaluates and deploys portable handheld devices used by Federal responders such as the
TSA Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response teams, USCG Special Mission Units and
supports SLTT partners with detection assets at special security events and in routine law
enforcement operations. CWMD is continuing research, acquisition, development, test, and
evaluation of the next generation of technology to bolster environmental bio-detection and
chemical defense programs.
92
Threat Awareness and National Leadership ..................................................... $51.3M, 67 FTE
CWMD provides actionable information, intelligence, and analysis on CBRN threats to FSLTT
stakeholders, enhancing their awareness of these threats and informing planning, training, and
response. CWMD is specifically positioned in law to look across the CBRN mission space due to
its authorities and ability to convene and coordinate with FSLTT partners through signature
programs and interagency centers that help drive national level decision-making against CBRN
threats.
