Bill Summary
A BILL Making continuing appropriations for the salary and expenses of certain excepted employees of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill provides continuing appropriations to ensure that certain critical employees at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continue to receive their salaries during a lapse in regular government funding. Specifically, the bill covers CBP agents and officers working at land and maritime border ports of entry, who are responsible for preventing the entry of terrorists, weapons, illegal immigrants, drugs, and other contraband. It also includes ICE officers and agents conducting immigration enforcement activities such as detaining and removing unauthorized immigrants, as well as investigating criminal operations involving illegal trade of goods, weapons, and drugs, and human smuggling and trafficking. The appropriations would remain in effect until either a new appropriations law is passed or existing appropriation resolutions are enacted without specific funding for these purposes. The goal is to ensure that these critical homeland security personnel continue to be paid and can perform their essential duties even during potential government funding gaps.
