Keep Our Border Agents Paid Act

This bill ensures that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) border agents, officers, and certain contractors continue receiving pay and benefits during government funding gaps. It appropriates funds from the Treasury to cover salaries and specific benefits (like disability compensation and funeral expenses) for essential personnel in key border units, including CBP’s Border Patrol and ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations. The law applies during any lapse in appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security.
