The article reports that the Pentagon has confirmed military personnel deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border under the Trump governance will not be furloughed or sent home if a government shutdown occurs. A Pentagon document lists the southern border,Middle East operations,missile defense programs<\/a>,ship and depot maintenance,and critical munitions as top priorities,with personnel continuing to work despite a lapse in government funding.<\/p>\n

Active-duty troops and reservists will work without pay if no funding agreement is reached by the deadline,with pay continuing only through the frist two weeks after a shutdown. about 406,000 of 741,000 Pentagon civilian employees will remain working during the funding gap.<\/p>\n

The article also notes recent military annexations of land along the southern border, granting troops limited authority to detain and arrest illegal immigrants for trespassing on military property-an unusual law enforcement role usually reserved for the U.S. Border Patrol.<\/p>\n

Currently, approximately 8,500 military personnel are assigned to the Joint Task Force Southern Border. Simultaneously occurring, Democrats in Congress seek to include provisions on healthcare funding in any short-term spending bill<\/a>, requiring bipartisan support to pass.
