I really have no idea how COPS Hiring Program is connected to ICE.(edit: i really have no idea. that's not meant to mean its not connected, it just means I don't know! My comment is not political, its about suspicious design decisions) But what sticks out:

2017-2021 shows the budget/funds

2022 show a request

I'm not saying this is misleading, it might just be mislabeled. But if I would try to to make defend-able bullshit claims, this would look like a sound route to take.

Possibly requests before 2022 were even higher, but eventually the lower number was agreed on? Maybe it's always "request 3x to get 1x".... as I said, no clue but looks fishy.

Feel free to educate yourself on how much funding the democrats give cops

I'm trying - but the "sources" I stumble about seem to be shitty :-)

Are you implying US cops aren't fascist too?

how did I give you this feeling? Because I did not blindly join the bashing on anything related to "something something police spending"?

You are the one that brought up ICE. Ice are a branch of "law enforcement" aka cops. What are you trying to say here?

i really have no idea.

No investigation no right to speak.
