Department of Justice federal obligations in Arizona

Department of Justice overlapping Arizona

Department of Justice as awarding agency, Arizona as place-of-performance: 1,781 records summing to $672,844,590.91. A Department of Justice award coded outside AZ is out. An award in Arizona from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Arizona (AZ) excludes California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. A Phoenix-coded award with a New Mexico place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

1,781 awards against $672,844,590.91 is a 1,781-award justice file, more rows than Washington’s DOJ join on this slice’s structure, still not a case census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1781 as 1781 unique border caseloads, prison beds, or unique defendants. Department of Justice in Arizona is the both-keys table. Arizona federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an AZ filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

District of Arizona folklore is unpublished. Do not treat 1,781 as unique prosecutions. Border-enforcement stories are not a USAspending field on this aggregate. Correlation is not causation: Arizona did not cause $672,844,590.91 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × AZ only.

A 1,781-row file is not a docket census

$672,844,590.91 does not measure border caseloads, prison beds, or unique defendants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an AZ place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1781 awards as a census of border caseloads, prison beds, or unique defendants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arizona federal spending or Department of Justice matched $672,844,590.91 and 1781, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.

Arizona, not a Phoenix-Tucson rollup

Place of performance AZ is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Arizona (AZ) excludes California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. A Phoenix-coded award with a New Mexico place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $672,844,590.91 by city, county, or named facility. 1781 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Justice obligations stay commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $672,844,590.91 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Arizona confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Arizona’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,781 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $672,844,590.91. Sharing a geography with Department of Justice does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing DOJ in Arizona

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $672,844,590.91 on 1,781 awards coded to Arizona. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as border caseloads, prison beds, or unique defendants.

Prefer Department of Justice in Arizona if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Arizona federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AZ. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the AZ filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $672,844,590.91.

A usable footnote names Department of Justice, Arizona, $672,844,590.91, and 1781. The compact headline $672.8M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $377,790.34 is $672,844,590.91 divided by 1781. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
