Federal agencies displayed shutdown blame messages, sparking Hatch Act violation concerns under review.
Questions have emerged over potential Hatch Act violations as the U.S. government shutdown enters its second month, with watchdog group Public Citizen filing complaints alleging that federal agencies including the DOJ, FDA, HUD, and USDA displayed website banners blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
These messages, appearing on official agency sites, raise concerns about federal employees engaging in partisan political activity, which is prohibited under the Hatch Act.
The Office of Special Counsel is reviewing the claims, but no formal findings have been made as of October 17, 2025.
