ICE is. But even before the shut down, they were jerking the NG around by deploying them for just under the amount of time that it takes to activate all their extra deployment pay.
NG was getting paid when activated, they were getting cut right before housing allowance and other benefits kicked in. But they still got the base daily for being activated.
Now activated guard (for any amount of time) aren’t getting paid.
Why aren’t more people complaining “ICE is getting paid but our troops aren’t” or “ICE is getting paid to kidnap Americans, but your flights are delayed because air traffic controllers aren’t”?

Every source I can find indicates that is false. ICE is not paid during the shutdown. They will be paid when it ends
Additional sources: 1 and 2
Definitive source, although painful to try to read
So, they’re just shooting people in the face for fun. Got it.
At least Soldiers have the gumption to sham during my a shutdown!

Because ICE isn’t getting paid…
ICE isn’t being paid. The commenter was incorrect. Any anger would be misplaced
This is false afaict. ICE enforcement is considered essential, so they (like military members) will get backpay, but are not paid during the shutdown. See: https://apnews.com/article/trump-federal-shutdown-paid-congress-jeffries-schumer-thune-9ecc7db2e689c45d288268aabf061498
