A government shutdown would not impact operations along our borders, but would mean tens of thousands of Border Patrol Agents and Officers with the Office of Field Operations would have to work without pay.
Currently, there are more than 19,000 Border Patrol Agents responsible for 6,000 miles of border and 25,000 OFO officers working at 300 ports of entry, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, those required to work during a shutdown will receive back pay. “In the interim, they have to make car payments, mortgage payments, feed their families,” Cuellar said. “I’ve seen shutdowns last anywhere from two days to 35 days.”According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, there are 2.6 million cases backlogged in immigration court. TRAC data shows the average time a case is pending in court is now 632 days. A government shutdown would mean court hearings involving non-detained migrants would be canceled and have to be rescheduled.
