Side note: ICE now has a bigger budget than the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Prisons put together.

They're gonna be working hard to justify that budget. Things are going to get a whole lot worse for our American friends. :(

Unfortunately we’re just getting started on building the sanctuary districts, sure would be nice if we could just skip WW3

Skipping it is exactly what should be done when it is started. Refuse to fight under any circumstances.

What was the justification for that budget?

That immigrants are literally an invasive military force that is destroying the US

No idea, the justifications would have been discussed in Congress. The "Big Beautiful Bill Act" (HR1) section 100052 just says $29,850,000,000 is allocated for Immmigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
