Thousands of National Guard members are working without pay during the government shutdown while supporting border security and federal operations.
Thousands of National Guard members supporting federal operations, including immigration enforcement and border security, are working without pay during the ongoing government shutdown.
Around 1,500 are aiding DHS and ICE across 20–22 states, while about 2,500 Army and Air National Guard members are deployed in Washington, D.C., and other cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago.
Activated under federal Title 10 or Title 32 status, these service members are treated like active-duty troops but are not receiving pay.
Those in State Active Duty status are paid by their states and not eligible for federal benefits.
The pay freeze is causing financial strain, especially for those earning less in the military than in civilian jobs, though support resources are available.
