Secretary Noem lays out the many wins included in President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill:
“Now we do have a bill that’s coming before Congress. I hope everybody will support that it will be a necessary resource for CBP. That bill doesn’t just have dollars in it to build a wall, which it will; it’ll have over $46 billion in it—not just to continue building infrastructure wall, but to give us the surveillance and technology that we need to truly secure the border. And every border, not just our southern, but our northern and maritime borders as well. It also will provide $4.1 billion so that we can hire 5,000 new CBP officers as well as 3,000 new CBP border agents. It also gives us $2.7 billion to CBP so that we can have the surveillance technologies that we need and another $1 billion for our vehicle fleet. It allows ICE to hire 10,000 new officers, which we cooperate with every single day to secure our country, and it will also allow us to double our detention capabilities that may be necessary as we do our work. It also will address salary and bonuses, which I think is incredibly important. When you make sure that we take care of our people that work for us, we’re taking care of their families. I don’t know of anybody that can do their job with excellence if their family is in crisis at home.”
