NBPC Local 2455 - Laredo

As Police Week 2026 comes to a close, we pause to honor and remember the fallen heroes of the U.S. Border Patrol and law enforcement community who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

We are grateful to President Donald J. Trump for hosting the BPUnion Executive Committee at the White House Rose Garden during this year’s Police Week observance. We also extend our appreciation to Secretary Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Vice President J.D. Vance for their hospitality and support of law enforcement.

It was a privilege to attend the National Peace Officers Memorial Service and pay tribute to this year’s fallen agent honorees, BPA Dave “Chris” Maland and SBPA Eric Cespedes.

Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Local 2455 Members,

Today, President Trump signed a memorandum authorizing backpay for all DHS employees who have gone without pay since the beginning of the shutdown.

This memorandum should bring everyone current through Pay Period 06.

We expect pay to be processed and received NLT than the next regularly scheduled pay day, but hopefully sooner.

Once we receive more information, we will update you all.

Stay safe,

Hector Garza
President
