Pay Our Border Patrol and Customs Agents Act of 2025

This bill makes sure certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection workers get paid during a government shutdown in fiscal year 2025. It sets aside whatever money is needed to cover the salaries and related expenses of Border Patrol agents and CBP officers at ports of entry who are required to keep working if funding lapses. In short, if there’s a shutdown in FY2025 after this becomes law, these employees keep getting their paychecks on time while they continue their duties at the border and airports.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Border Patrol agents and CBP officers in the Office of Field Operations who must work during a shutdown.
• What changes: Guarantees their pay and necessary expenses are funded during a lapse in government funding.
• When: Applies during any FY2025 shutdown that starts on or after the bill becomes law.
