民主党质疑联邦网站上的党派信息传递，反对政府停摆期间的偏袒行为
摘要
民主党人和联邦工会指控特朗普政府在政府停摆期间在联邦网站上使用党派语言，违反了《哈奇法案》。
联邦机构网站上发布的信息将政府停摆归咎于民主党，引发了民主党议员和联邦雇员工会的法律挑战。例如，住房和城市发展部主页上显示了一条横幅，写着“国会中的激进左翼关闭了政府”。
民主党人认为，这种信息传递违反了1939年颁布的《哈奇法案》，该法案禁止联邦雇员参与党派政治活动。众议院监督委员会资深成员罗伯特·加西亚议员呼吁对这些通讯进行调查，称其推动了党派议程。
美国联邦政府雇员工会（AFGE）对教育部提起诉讼，指控该部门在未经休假员工同意的情况下更改了他们的离开办公室自动回复邮件，错误地将停摆责任归咎于民主党参议员。AFGE主席埃弗雷特·凯利表示，政府的行为侵犯了联邦雇员的第一修正案权利。
负责执行《哈奇法案》的特别顾问办公室因停摆而关闭，导致相关投诉处理延迟。负责处理联邦雇员案件的优点制度保护委员会在此期间也已停止运作。
