SECURE AMERICA ACT
Earlier today, President Donald J. Trump signed the Secure America Act into law. The legislation fully funds the U.S. Border Patrol and ICE through Fiscal Year 2029 and provides the critical resources necessary to continue securing our nation's borders and enforcing our immigration laws.
As many of you know, the US House of Representatives passed the Secure America Act after the Senate approved the legislation the week before. With the President's signature, the bill has now officially become law.
The combination of the Secure America Act and the One Big Beautiful Bill provides long-term funding stability for Border Patrol and ICE. Most importantly, it ensures that agents and professional staff can expect steady and consistent paychecks through FY2029, with no threat of a government or agency shutdown impacting pay and operations.
The National Border Patrol Council strongly supported this legislation and appreciates the efforts of those who worked to secure its passage. The funding and resources provided by this law will help strengthen our workforce and support the mission for years to come.
