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 specifically covers "excepted employees" (those required to work during shutdowns) and "covered contractors" supporting border operations, including Border Patrol, Air and Marine Operations, and enforcement units. The bill appropriates funds from the Treasury to pay salaries and cover specific benefits like disability compensation, death benefits, and funeral expenses until regular appropriations are enacted. It applies to all border and immigration enforcement personnel directly affected by funding lapses, without creating new programs or altering existing work requirements.
