The ICE Funding Accountability Act would prohibit the government from using funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (a broad spending law) to recruit, hire, or retain new immigration enforcement agents or officers at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Specifically, the bill blocks spending on salaries for newly hired agents and officers, as well as recruitment advertising, signing bonuses, and retention bonuses for these positions. The restrictions would apply to anyone hired on or after the bill's enactment date. This legislation essentially puts a freeze on expanding the immigration enforcement workforce using funds allocated in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, though it does not affect current employees already on the payroll.
