Department of Justice federal obligations in New Mexico

On USAspending.gov, Department of Justice (agency 015) posts $252,412,796.14 in obligations coded to New Mexico across 759 awards. New Mexico (NM) is the place-of-performance key. 759 awards against $252,412,796.14 is a 759-award justice file, thick in records against a $252.4 million cell. The implied mean is about $332,559.68 per award, a quotient of two packet facts. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Department of Justice obligated $252,412,796.14 in New Mexico across 759 awards (USAspending.gov).
  • The pair is awarding-agency 015 × place-of-performance NM.
  • Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
  • The implied mean near $332,559.68 is $252,412,796.14 divided by 759, not a typical award.
  • The join does not name contractors and does not measure named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts.

Department 015 overlapping New Mexico

Department of Justice as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 759 records summing to $252,412,796.14. A Department of Justice award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. A Las Cruces-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

759 awards against $252,412,796.14 is a 759-award justice file, thick in records against a $252.4 million cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 759 as 759 unique named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts. Department of Justice in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named defendants, case dockets, and prison-population counts stay unpublished. Science-foundation overlays in New Mexico use a different awarding-agency code. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not cause $252,412,796.14 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × NM only.

DOJ is not a docket census

$252,412,796.14 does not measure named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 759 awards as a census of named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or Department of Justice matched $252,412,796.14 and 759, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Mexico, not a border-only map

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

This packet does not split $252,412,796.14 by city, county, or named facility. 759 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Seven hundred fifty-nine obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $252,412,796.14 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Mexico confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Mexico’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 759 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 $252,412,796.14. Sharing a geography with Department of Justice does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Department of Justice in New Mexico

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $252,412,796.14 on 759 awards coded to New Mexico. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts.

Prefer Department of Justice in New Mexico if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Mexico federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NM. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the NM filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $252,412,796.14.

A usable footnote names Department of Justice, New Mexico, $252,412,796.14, and 759. The compact headline $252.4M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $332,559.68 is $252,412,796.14 divided by 759. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Justice dollars without a defendant roster

New Mexico’s DOJ overlay is 759 awards totaling $252,412,796.14. Named defendants, case dockets, and prison-population counts stay unpublished. Science-foundation overlays in New Mexico use a different awarding-agency code. Adding parent hubs into $252,412,796.14 would invent a combined New Mexico total. Keep 015 × NM as the pair. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Keep the obligation label on $252,412,796.14. Unique recipients stay unpublished. FEC filings are a different dataset.
