The House narrowly passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill and sent it to the president. The measure provides $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for the Border Patrol, and $5 billion for unforeseen costs.

Concrete congressional action in the lookback window moved immigration-enforcement funding forward, including money for Border Patrol operations tied to immigration enforcement.

The bill included more than $9.5 billion to help hire and pay Border Patrol agents, along with other immigration-enforcement funding, and was sent to the White House for signature.

This is the closest available evidence to a pay increase for federal officers doing immigration enforcement: the enacted package explicitly funds hiring and pay for Border Patrol agents, though it does not prove a targeted high-risk-area pay premium.
