Multiple United States government websites went down as President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union address.
Websites for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Secret Service displayed technical difficulty screens for 20 minutes on Thursday night.
The cause for the outages is unknown. According to Search.gov, a search engine by and for the federal government, planned maintenance was scheduled between 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday.
While the government agency websites are down, much of the nation was watching Biden’s pivotal State of the Union.
‘Why are a bunch of government websites down at this moment in time. It seems like everyone is distracted by the state of the union so there’s a bunch of backdoor shady stuff going on right now,’ said Twitter used John Winters.
