Mexico border mission funded through 2021, no current plans to draw down thousands of troops

Three weeks after President Joe Biden declared an end to the national emergency at the border, there is no word on when the thousands of troops deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border will be going home.
The mission is funded through the end of the year, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Thursday.
“I don’t have any changes to that mission to read out as a result of the president’s decision,†he said.
On Wednesday, Biden sent a letter to House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D, Calif., notifying her that the border wall should receive no further funding and its past funding is now under review.
