Federal officials ordered a temporary halt to planned shutdowns of two coal-burning Indiana power plants.

Gleaners Food Bank is setting up set-up food distribution systems to help federal workers who struggle during the shutdown.

About 24,000 civilians in Indiana work for the federal government in areas such as law enforcement, federal courts, the postal service, transportation security and veterans affairs.

In past government shutdowns, workers have been put on temporary furloughs until funding resumes. This time, the Trump White House is looking for bigger and more permanent cuts, a new memo shows.
