The progressive advocacy group Action Network quoted a DACA recipient in its statement on the shutdown.
"This shutdown shows that we cannot put our faith in the hands of the establishment," said Juan Carlos Carabantes. "By taking action and mobilizing our community, we have made the entire country feel the urgency that we have felt every day since DACA was repealed.
