Funding for Border and Immigration Services During Government Shutdown
This act ensures continued salary payments for essential U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees during a lapse in federal appropriations. This means agents and officers responsible for border security and immigration enforcement will continue to be paid, preventing disruptions to their critical work and maintaining national security. The funding is temporary, lasting until January 1, 2024, or until a permanent appropriations bill is enacted.
