Dreamers Turn on Dems, Block Entrance to DNC: 'Too Many Years, Too Many Lies!'PJ Media, Mar 5, 2018, Debra Heine
Hundreds of DACA supporters marched in D.C. Monday to mark President Trump's March 5 DACA deadline -- which passed with no action from Congress to protect DACA recipients facing deportation. One group of Dreamers held a sit-in in front of the Democratic National Committee, publicly revoking their affiliation with the party. An estimated 500 activists rallied on the National Mall at the Smithsonian Museum of American History, and then marched to the Hill to lobby members of Congress to pass a clean DACA bill.

Before the sit-in, members of the group publicly revoked their affiliation with the Democratic Party, demanding to be treated with dignity and respect.
"For years I've been told that Republicans aren't my friends, and they don't care about my community," said one activist.
He explained that he had always been told that the Democrats were his allies and "as long as I helped them, they would help my community." But after years of disappointment, he was turning on his former allies. "I'm here to say no," he said. "I'm withdrawing from the Democratic Party. I will not be working on any other campaigns. I will not be advocating for Democrats until something happens for my brothers and sisters."
