I disagree here if you have a federal job that is worth doing, it is fine to get a raise. If you have a federal job that isnt worth doing, the job should be eliminated. Freezing pay is a weird half step, and provides political fodder for the liberal news media. Let start shutting down departments and agencies.

Would you like to list the jobs/dept/agencies *worth* doing?
Looking into my (surely, outdated) copy of the Constitution, I can give you a VASTLY short list that are authorized...doesn’t mean they’re still worth paying, let alone doing the job well.
Here is one: ICE. Take whatever list makes you happy, then look at every other federal employee, should they get a pay freeze or should the job be eliminated? This is a half measure. If it were a business and you had a redundant department, would you freeze their pay, or get rid of the department?
