This legislation aims to secure the salaries and expenses for specific U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel who continue to work during a government shutdown. It focuses on those employees deemed essential and therefore not subject to furlough during a lapse in federal funding. The bill appropriates necessary funds for fiscal year 2025 to cover the pay of U.S. Border Patrol Agents and Office of Field Operations officers within CBP. This funding is specifically designated for any period of a lapse in discretionary appropriations that occurs in fiscal year 2025, ensuring these critical personnel are compensated for their work.
