Specifically, the legislation prohibits the expenditure of these funds to pay the salaries of any U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents or officers who are hired on or after the date of the bill's enactment. Furthermore, it explicitly forbids the use of these funds for activities related to the recruitment , advertising for hiring, or payment of retention or sign-on bonuses for such new agents or officers.
