Erika Andiola, who worked for Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign as the
press secretary for Hispanic media, was arrested on Friday. Capitol Hill Police
hauled her, six other illegal immigrants, and one "ally" after they staged a
sit-in at the office of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Their
protest was in response to the repeal of President Obama's Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Andiola, a native of Mexico, posted on Facebook and Twitter shortly after her
arrest about refusal to cooperate with law enforcement.
She wrote: "I am still in police custody after being released last night at
@SenSchumer's office demanding he proves his claim to support
Dreamers by organizing his caucus to block any spending deal that does
not include a clean #DreamAct. I am refusing to cooperate and will remain
in jail at risk of deportation... until he meets this demand."
The group of Dreamers is now engaging in a hunger strike. They're hoping
that their actions will push Schumer into fighting harder for the DREAM Act –
which would give legal status to illegal immigrants who were brought to the
United States as children – before Congress votes on the next spending bill
on December 22.
However, despite Schumer's strong language in support of the DREAM Act
back in September, he's not indicated that he's willing to initiate a
government shutdown to guarantee the DREAM Act.
