Bill > HR1916

This bill, known as the "Pay Our Border Patrol and Customs Agents Act of 2025," is designed to ensure that certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) employees continue to receive their salaries during a government shutdown in fiscal year 2025. Specifically, the bill appropriates necessary funds from the U.S. Treasury to pay the salaries and expenses of Border Patrol Agents and Office of Field Operations officers who are required to work during a lapse in discretionary appropriations. This means that if the government experiences a funding gap and these critical border security personnel are still mandated to work without a previously approved budget, they will be guaranteed compensation. The bill aims to provide financial security and support for these essential workers who continue to perform their duties protecting U.S. borders even when other government functions may be temporarily suspended due to budget impasses.
