Title

Loyola Phoenix: Shut Down: Loyola students' families have been affected by the government shutdown while Congress and the president fight over border security

Description

This article by Kayleigh Padar opens with a large photo of the Capitol building with the words "Shut Down" laid over the image. The article discusses the effects of the federal government shutdown, which "means more than a failed agreement on the federal budget," and how students' families were affected. Some parents were forced to work without pay for government offices or the FBI. One student had to draw money from her own savings and borrow from relatives to support her family. Students blamed President Trump for wreaking havoc on their lives and for punishing federal workers over his border wall. Loyola Dean of Students Will Rodriguez offered immediate aid to affected students.
