Homeland Heroes Pay Act

Bill 119 HR 2050, also known as the "Continuing Appropriations for Certain Excepted Employees Act," is a piece of legislation that aims to provide funding for the salary and expenses of certain employees of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The bill is designed to ensure that these essential employees are able to continue their work during times of budget uncertainty or government shutdowns.

The bill specifies that the funding provided is only for employees who are considered "excepted" and are required to work during a lapse in appropriations. This includes employees who are involved in critical functions such as border security, immigration enforcement, and customs operations.

In addition to funding for salaries and expenses, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the operations of CBP and ICE. This may include funding for equipment, training, and other resources necessary for the agencies to carry out their duties effectively. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2050 is aimed at ensuring that essential employees of CBP and ICE are able to continue their important work even in the face of budget uncertainties or government shutdowns. By providing the necessary funding, the bill helps to maintain the security and integrity of the nation's borders and immigration enforcement efforts.
