Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Arizona

USAspending.gov records $8,125,046,265.02 in Department of Homeland Security obligations under awarding agency 070 with place of performance in Arizona, across 941 awards. Border-sector folklore, Tucson and Yuma stories, and FEMA disaster talk all land on a Homeland Security–Arizona join. This packet does not isolate CBP, ICE, FEMA, or TSA, and it is not a migrant count. The pair is Department of Homeland Security and Arizona — not Arizona’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $8.63 million ($8,125,046,265.02 ÷ 941).

Key figures

  • DHS in Arizona: $8,125,046,265.02 across 941 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $8.63 million per record, not a typical award size.
  • Agency 070 × AZ is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a program split.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote Department of Homeland Security in Arizona if the live table moved.
  • Arizona federal spending and Department of Homeland Security are parents, not amounts to add into $8,125,046,265.02.

What the DHS–Arizona join is

Awarding agency 070 and place-of-performance state AZ meet here. $8,125,046,265.02 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Homeland Security’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Arizona, and not an outlay register. Operating components under 070 can share this cell. A thin 941-row file against $8.13 billion is not proof of a single component’s dominance.

941 is a thin award file: relatively few rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,125,046,265.02 by 941 yields about $8.63 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Homeland Security in Arizona for the live filtered table, Arizona federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without an Arizona filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,125,046,265.02.

Awarding agency 070 as the DHS side

USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $8,125,046,265.02 when crossed with Arizona place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require AZ geography. The Arizona hub does not require DHS. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 941 awards.

A wall-or-crossing inventory and a disaster-declaration ranking are unpublished. 941 awards is a thin DHS book, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. A second DHS slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Arizona’s 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account.

Arizona as place of performance (AZ)

Arizona on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Arizona residents. Awards can list AZ while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged California, Nevada, Utah, or New Mexico stay on those ties even when the Sonoran story is the same. Phoenix, Tucson, and the border counties share one AZ stamp.

Arizona federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,125,046,265.02 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Arizona by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,125,046,265.02 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside Arizona coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.

Arizona’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 941-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,125,046,265.02 as given. Treat 941 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

Questions

How much DHS spending is coded to Arizona?
USAspending.gov lists $8,125,046,265.02 in Department of Homeland Security obligations across 941 Arizona-coded awards. Agency 070 × AZ is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Arizona’s complete federal ledger. Department of Homeland Security in Arizona is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $8.63 million, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every DHS program in Arizona?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,125,046,265.02 is the combined obligation sum for agency 070 inside Arizona coding. Open Department of Homeland Security in Arizona to inspect award lines. 941 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.
Is $8,125,046,265.02 cash already paid in Arizona?
No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $8,125,046,265.02 as checks already cleared in Arizona confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 941 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
