The Homeland Heroes Pay Act would provide money for the salaries and expenses of certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees and Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees during a lapse in discretionary funding. It covers specified border duties, immigration enforcement, and investigations into criminal operations, including smuggling and trafficking. The funding would end when a qualifying appropriation is enacted, or when the applicable spending measure is enacted without funding for these purposes.
If enacted, the measure would keep pay and expenses funded during a lapse for the employees and work described in the bill. It does not describe a direct change for the public.
The bill does not specify a dollar amount. It provides for such sums as are necessary to pay the covered employees’ salaries and expenses during a funding lapse.
