Belen Sisa and Erika Andiola are Arizona State University students and were two of seven Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients who had been detained since Dec. 15.
In a press release, the group vowed to “pressure [Schumer] to not allow a spending bill to go through without a Clean Dream Act.”
“I am leaving jail to deliver a message to Sen. Schumer,” Sisa said in a press release.
“He has said repeatedly he stands with DREAMers and that we need a Dream Act by the end of the year. We gave him a chance to put those words into action but he failed us. He let me spend six days behind bars, with no food, the risk of ICE involvement increasing every day.”
