The Biden administration made multiple last-minute moves that could make the Department of Homeland Security more expensive to operate, and cause the funds allocated to the department to secure the border to be less effective.
On January 17, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas wrote to all employees that he was giving them three days of additional vacation time to be used in 2025, in memory of him.
“It has been the honor of my life to support you and to work alongside you. In recognition of your extraordinary talent, dedication, and sacrifice, I am proud — this one last time — to grant all personnel 24 hours of administrative leave, to be used this calendar year,” he wrote in a memo to staff obtained by The Daily Wire. “Please take care of one another.”
The head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, meanwhile, sent employees a message saying that two career employees will lead the agency until a Trump appointee is confirmed. She signed the message “Ur M. Jaddou (she/her) Director.”
DHS employees were also given an extra day off for Christmas Eve and for former President Jimmy Carter’s death. Because simply not having law enforcement operate is not an option, this often means that the agency must pay for expensive and unbudgeted overtime just to have the coverage they were expected to have.
The change that could have significant impacts on the agency’s budget had to do with allowing employees to attain significant pay raises through tenure, rather than merit. The agency has historically had one Immigration Service Officer job, called ISO-1, that handled simpler cases and was lower-paid, starting at the GS-5 pay rank and allowing employees to climb to a GS-9. A second group of employees, ISO-2s, had to pass a test to get the job,

Heavenly Father please expose and reverse all the chaos and sabotage intended by the enemy and work it for good in Jesus’ name.
Sounds illegal to me.
Did that POS Mayorkas get his pardon yet?
That SOB needs 30+ in Leavenworth
Whatever it is it won’t work. This is a new world and Trump is the POTUS of the world.
Its a bribe to the mostly democrat deep-state drones of Fed.gov, particularly in DC
“Remember me in 2025 when you are enjoying your time at home, not working!”
As a corollary, its why the Federal Courts based in DC should not exist, any why no government trial should be conducted in Washington DC - its completely tainted jury pool
This is nonsense. In reality this doesn’t matter much. Most people will take their days when they need them for their own lives. From Mayorkas it is just pure spite. Did he get a Biden pardon?
Democrats destroying their party and America one pardon at a time.
Good!
Time to get rid of this useless monstrosity.
A possible addition to this: President Trump grants "to all personnel an additional six months of unpaid leave effective immediately."
Did Traitormayorkas get a pardon, too?
Surely the new DHS Secretary can get a legal ruling to reverse this.
Time to euthanize Bush’s legacy.
He doesn’t have the authority to spend this money.
Prosecute him and lock him up!
Why hasn’t that bastard Joe Pedo been arrested yet for the stunts he has pulled today to sabotage out government. Sumbiatch.
Just cut out all the unnecessary positions and viola’ plenty of money.
“As a corollary, its why the Federal Courts based in DC should not exist,”
I do agree with you on the D.C. jury pool being tainted.
Laying them off before they are let go will reduce that cost quickly. I would start with a 3 day layoff.
***Time to euthanize Bush’s legacy.***
AMEN
