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 Senate on Thursday passed a bill to ensure furloughed federal workers will get back pay as workers carried out demonstrations calling for an end to the shutdown. Photo by Kevin Dietsch/UPI
