FBI Agents Association Warns of Shutdown Consequences

They are raising the alarm over the harm caused by the lapse in public services

Since the partial government shutdown began a month ago, numerous associations have raised the alarm over the harm caused by the lapse in public services. The FBI Agents Association may have a particularly strong case.

A new FBIAA initiative is highlighting what federal agents are seeing on the ground. In a new report, “Voices from the Field,” the association has compiled a series of anonymous accounts from agents detailing the consequences of the shutdown.

“For agents and the FBIAA, the fight for funding is not political. It is a matter of completing our mission and protecting the Constitution and the people of our nation,” the report states. “Agents will continue working to thwart all plots and investigate all incidents, whether child trafficking and exploitation, cyber intrusion, or terrorist attack.”
