On Thursday, hundreds of students across the country walked out of class to demand that Congress take swift action to protect young undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Just over two months after President Donald Trump ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA , program putting nearly 700,000 young undocumented immigrants at risk of losing jobs and being deported when their protections expire hundreds of students in the D.C. area left their schools and gathered with other members of the public at the Hart Senate Office Building to call for Congress to pass the Dream Act.

The legislation, which protesters were demanding be passed by the end of the year, would provide legal status to young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children .

At the rally on Thursday, organized by immigrant advocacy group United We Dream , protesters filled the building , chanting and holding banners that read: Congress pass the clean Dream Act now.

By a clean Dream Act, organizers mean that the legislation should not be attached to other policies that would potentially harm immigrants, United We Dream field communications manager Sheridan Aguirre told HuffPost.

The rally drew around 500 students from four D.C. colleges and at least one high school. They joined around 350 young, undocumented members of United We Dream who had traveled from across the country. Students at a dozen schools in a handful of cities across the country, including New York City, San Diego and Houston, also staged local walkouts in solidarity.

Happening now: GW students walking out to join @UNITEDWEDREAM s rally calling for a clean Dream Act. #DreamActNOW pic.twitter.com/sgxaqHUA0E

Alejandro Alvarez (@aletweetsnews) November 9, 2017

While United We Dream regularly organizes rallies in support of immigrants, Aguirre said Thursdays rally was the largest group of undocumented youth they had ever gathered in the nations capital.

When Trump chose to terminate DACA, what he didnt know was he was awakening a sleeping giant, Aguirre said. U.S. citizens across the country who werent as vocal before [are now] coming out in support of DACA. Im excited to continue seeing that support.

As people tweeted about the walkouts on Thursday, the hashtag #DreamActNow trended on Twitter.

Clean Dream Act. Now. #DreamActNow pic.twitter.com/c7VNGe0uGO

Kamala Harris (@SenKamalaHarris) November 9, 2017

During Thursdays rally, several Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) tweeted in support of the student rallies for the Dream Act. Harris joined protesters at one point and raised a fist in the air in solidarity.

After Trump rescinded DACA in September, he left it up to Congress to pass legislation to protect undocumented youth.

On Wednesday, over two dozen House Democrats threatened a government shutdown , saying they wouldnt approve a year-end spending bill unless it included deportation relief for the more than 1 million undocumented youth brought to the U.S. as children, The Hill reported.

Early on Thursday, a group of House Republicans said they wanted a vote on a bill to help Dreamers as soon as possible, at the very least by the end of the year.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) later told reporters that discussions about a Dreamer package were underway, but he said he wouldnt commit to acting before the end of the year.

We have until, I believe, March is the deadline we have with the president, he said at a press conference. So I dont think theres really any need to have artificial deadlines within the one we already have.

But organizers are trying to pressure Ryan to move faster, Aguirre told HuffPost. Although the speaker, Trump and other Republicans have been referring to March as the deadline, the decision to end DACA is already having an effect. Trump allowed DACA recipients whose protections were set to expire before March 6 to apply to renew them, but about 21,000 of the people who were eligible didnt apply in time, according to the government.

Immigrant youth want this Dream Act passed and we want it to happen with urgency, Aguirre said, citing data from the liberal Center for American Progress that estimated that close to 8,000 undocumented people have already lost their protections since Trump ended DACA in September.

Thats why its important for us to have this bipartisan, clean legislative solution by the end of the year, Aguirre added. We already have people experiencing the threat of deportation.
