The bill would provide money from the Treasury to pay salaries and expenses for U.S. Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection officers in the Office of Field Operations who are required to work during a lapse in discretionary funding in fiscal year 2026. It would apply to lapses beginning on or after enactment.
Eligible agents and officers who are excepted from furlough could receive pay and have their work expenses covered during a qualifying shutdown. The bill does not cover all Customs and Border Protection employees.
The bill authorizes amounts necessary for these salaries and expenses, but does not specify a total amount.
