Is Dublin Preclearance affected by shutdown on return to US?

Has anyone returned to US recently directly from Dublin? I know there is a preclearance where passengers go through immigration, customs, etc. in Dublin and arrive in New York as if it was a domestic flight.

I assume these workers are not US government employees so should not be impacted. But just want to check for current, real experience.

Yes they ARE US gov't workers.

CBP has workers all over the world, in fact, not just at pre clearance locations. (I've also spoken to an NYPD officer in Italy doing anti terrorism).

GE would be affected but that's reopened.

I'll leave others to respond for folks that have been through.
