Pay Our Border Patrol and Customs Agents Act of 2025
This bill ensures that U.S. Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers who remain on duty during a government shutdown receive their salaries. It appropriates funds from the Treasury for fiscal year 2025 to cover their pay during any shutdown period beginning after the bill's enactment. The provision specifically applies to CBP personnel who are not furloughed under standard shutdown protocols. It directly affects federal workers in CBP’s Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations during government funding gaps.
