Federal workers rally against shutdown (13 images)

Federal workers rally in protest Thursday at the U.S. Capitol and the White House in the third week of a partial shutdown of the federal government, which has placed them on furlough or to work without pay. Congress and President Donald Trump remain at a budget stalemate as Democrats refuse to provide Trump with the $5.7 billion funding request for a wall along the Mexico border.

The Food and Drug Administration has stopped performing most domestic food inspections during the partial government shutdown. Without a deal to reopen the government, the regulatory agency will have to force furloughed workers to come back without pay. Photo by Kevin Dietsch/UPI
