Police Forced to use “Bolt Cutters” to Arrest DACA Protesters at U.S. Capitol

The United States Capitol Police had to use bolt cutters to unchain illegal alien activists protesting at the Capitol building during a staged sit-in.   That protest was just one of several staged by illegal aliens across the D.C.-area, demanding that Congress pass legislation to grant an amnesty, on the day the Trump administration was set to end the DACA program.

DACA protesters also swarmed Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters calling Democrats “fake allies,” and chanting “If you won’t let us dream! We won’t let you sleep!”

Other protesters on Capitol Hill dressed up in white wigs, canes and walkers in a feeble attempt to dramatize the “17-year-long wait for Congress to pass the DREAM Act.”  They ultimately defied several warnings by Capitol Police to disperse and were arrested.

 March 5 was the current administration’s deadline for Congress to come up with a legislative solution after President Trump decided to end President Obama’s illegal DACA program.  The cutoff date also gave any DACA recipients who wished to leave the U.S. time to depart without being forcibly deported. However, the Trump timetable was ultimately rendered moot after two separate district courts ordered the Trump administration to keep accepting DACA renewal applications.  The White House is appealing those decisions.
