Most shutdown impacts are far from the halls of Congress, but the situation facing members of the Capitol Police is difficult for lawmakers to overlook, says former Chief Terry Gaynor.
The Capitol Police Union has called for an end to the shutdown.
The Trump administration has said it'll repurpose other funds to pay federal law enforcement.
But until then, the missing paychecks come as the force deals with growing threats against public officials and lingering tensions after Trump pardoned the January 6th rioters who attacked officers at the Capitol.

Republicans
want to pass a stopgap funding bill, but Democrats say Republicans need to negotiate over health insurance subsidies that are expiring soon.
Top Republicans say there's nothing to negotiate, even as a handful of their members are having informal conversations with Democrats about potential paths forward.
But that hasn't resulted in much, and both parties are gearing up for an extended shutdown.
The White House says it's moved around funds to make sure troops get paid this week, and food assistance for women and children continues.
And President Trump says he plans to fire more federal workers en masse while the shutdown continues, saying Democrat programs will be specifically targeted.

In the last week, the Senate has voted six times on the same pair of bills, one authored by Democrats, the other by Republicans.
Neither has gotten the 60 votes needed to pass.
And while a few senators are having informal talks about a path forward, there's no indication that the leadership on either side is willing to budge.
Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was among a bipartisan group of senators who shared a meal Tuesday night.
Republicans want to pass a short-term spending bill to reopen the government.
Democrats won't support that without a deal to extend expiring health insurance subsidies.
The votes are expected to continue.
