Description

After a brief government shutdown in the early hours Friday morning, President Trump signed a bipartisan budget bill passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The one thing not included in the bill was DACA, which Congress now has until March 5th to legalize. Maria catches up with Julio, who spent the week reporting on the ground in Washington D.C.. We hear from dreamers and advocates during the National Day of Action for the Dream Act. Julio also gets the latest from Capitol Hill from Cristina Jiménez, executive director of United We Dream, and Camila DeChalus, immigration reporter with CQ Roll Call.
