"Police in Kentucky were called to a protest by a group of federal government workers at a field office for Sen. Mitch McConnell.
The protestors arrived at the Lexington office in hopes of handing off some letters to the senator's staff about the government shutdown, said Chon Jung, an organizer. Jung said it was a "peaceful demonstration" though some protesters banged on windows of the office.
He said protesters agreed to leave the building when police arrived. McConnell was in Washington on Wednesday.
Lexington police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said about 50 protesters and media left without incident.
Jung, a retired law enforcement officer, said workers were at the office to "put some pressure on McConnell" to pass legislation to end the shutdown.
He said workers are feeling the pain of the shutdown that has dragged on for over a month.
"They're hurting," Jung said by phone from outside the field office."
