Schumer leads the DNC....with victory. 
'I'm leaving the Democratic Party today': Democrats are infuriated by their own party's deal with the GOP to reopen the government
On Monday, a bipartisan group of senators, including 33 Democrats, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, reached an agreement to fund the government until February 8 in exchange for a promise from the GOP to hold a vote on legislation to replace the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects about 700,000 undocumented immigrants from deportation.
"Democrats are still not willing to go to the mat to allow people in my community to live in our country legally," Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez said Monday.
Some Democrats voiced particularly strong dissent, including Alida Garcia, a strategist and immigrants rights advocate at FWD.us who announced she's cutting ties with the party following the Senate deal.
"I'm leaving the Democratic Party today," Garcia wrote, calling Democrats "liars." "They're complicit w/ every single young person living in fear. Every pain Latino & immigrant families feel from here out is 100% due to @TheDemocrats not fully embracing us as American. Implicit racism is equally as harmful. I'm done."
