Bill overview
The Pay Our Protectors Act of 2019 aims to ensure that certain employees of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice receive their pay during government shutdowns. Specifically, it provides continuing appropriations to cover the salaries and allowances of employees like Customs and Border Protection officers, FBI agents, DOJ prosecutors, and immigration judges who are required to work without pay when federal funding is suspended. The bill provides funds to agencies until regular appropriations are in place or until the end of the fiscal year.
