FBI agents press Congress to end shutdown

 The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Agents Association issued a statement urging Congress to end the government shutdown, warning that the funding lapse could weaken national security by limiting resources and delaying investigations.

The group said agents will remain on duty without pay but warned that funding gaps will reduce the agency's ability to carry out critical operations.

"If the shutdown continues, the Bureau will inevitably be forced to curtail travel, training, hiring, and other essential operations," the statement read. "These restrictions will slow investigations, delay forensic analysis, and weaken coordination with state, local, and international law enforcement partners."
