U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds made clear his office will remain open even as the federal government shuts down. But Donalds’ Office said certain case work will require interactions with executive branch operations, and much of that work will be delayed. The Office cannot process flag orders or arrange tours for visitors to Washington, but Donalds said his own office will remain open. There are typically six- to eight-week waits on passports in non-shutdown conditions, and Donalds’ Office said to expect delays. The Post Office will remain open, Donalds said, as will all Veterans Affairs facilities.
