Powerful videos show 'Dreamers' storming Senate office building
It's been a year since Donald Trump was elected President of the United States and people are still gathering in massive protests.
On Thursday, individuals stormed the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., to shout their pleas for members of Congress to pass a new Dream Act to replace the DACA immigration program Trump ended in September, which impacts nearly 800,000 people who were brought to the U.S. by immigrants.

It needs to move quickly, however, as the DACA protections expire March 5, 2018.
Striking photographs and video taken in the atrium of the Senate office building show crowds of people chanting, cheering, throwing their fists in the air, and demanding congress take action.

Protests also took place across the country earlier this week, with people gathering outside Arizona Senator Jeff Flake's office on Tuesday in an attempt to save the dreamers.
On Wedensday The Hillreported that a group of 25 Democrats vowed they would not vote for a government spending bill unless Congress passes some sort of Dream Act, which could lead to a government shutdown, so we'll see if the protests prompt some serious action.
