How could (or should) proposed spending freeze impact federal crime and punishment?

As detailed in this New York Times article, which is headlined "Obama to Seek Spending Freeze to Trim Deficits," in his upcoming State of the Union Address "President Obama will call for a three-year freeze in spending on many domestic programs, and for increases no greater than inflation after that, an initiative intended to signal his seriousness about cutting the budget deficit." Here are more details:

The freeze would cover the agencies and programs for which Congress allocates specific budgets each year, including air traffic control, farm subsidies, education, nutrition and national parks.

But it would exempt security-related budgets for the Pentagon, foreign aid, the Veterans Administration and homeland security, as well as the entitlement programs that make up the biggest and fastest-growing part of the federal budget: Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

My first instinct is that the Department of Justice and other agencies involved in traditional federal law enforcement activities — other than terror-related homeland security — would be among the agencies and programs subject to a freeze rather than an exemption.  I likewise assume that the federal judiciary and its various departments — ranging from the US Sentencing Commission to federal probation offices to federal defender offices — will also be subject to this proposed freeze.

I know many persons working in DOJ and the federal judiciary likely already feel their budgets are (too?) lean.  I suspect that this proposed spending freeze, if it becomes a reality, could significantly alter who is working on federal crime and punishment issues and how they do their work.  But, as the title of this post asks, it is not thereafter obvious if and how such budget-driven changes would impact federal crime and punishment.  Perhaps fewer low-level immigration and gun and drug prosecutions?  Perhaps greater emphasis on economic crimes and punishments?  Perhaps some more serious discussion of marijuana legalization?
