just the Department of Homeland Security funding bill.
There's a lot of misinformation out there about this because, again, as you know, Congress passed the one big, beautiful bill last year that had $170-some billion for border control and ICE in it.
However, all of that money is designated.
So it is for new ICE and Border Patrol officers, new equipment, new cameras.
Absolutely, au contraire.
And every Democrat knows this.
They know they are defunding immigration enforcement.
That money that was in the one big beautiful bill cannot be repurposed outside of the specific lane that it was created for.
So for example, there's a lot of money in there for detention beds.
Detention beds you can repurpose and say, okay, instead of paying for next year's detention beds with that money, we're gonna pay for this year's detention beds because the Democrats refuse to fund it.
You cannot do that with personnel.
So even though there's all this money for new officers and agents, you can't pay the current ones.
We don't have the funding in the Department of Homeland Security to pay the current operating costs.
So every Border Patrol agent, every ICE agent who was on the job for the last however many years is not going to get paid if the Department of Homeland Security shuts down on Friday.
Yeah, I mean, well, first of all, you can read the actual One Big Beautiful Bill and you see that every line of funding is dedicated to a specific purpose.
So detention beds, new ICE officers, new Border Patrol officers, new equipment.
So that means that if the Department of Homeland Security is defunded as of Friday night, then
then if you're an ICE officer who has worked there for 20 years, you're not going to get paid.
If you're one of the new ICE officers who has been hired on the money of the One Big Beautiful Bill, there's money there for you.
But standard operations that were ongoing when that bill passed are not going to be funded with a couple of exceptions like detention beds because that money is more fungible.
