The Trump Administration hopes to bypass the lower courts and bring a DACA ruling straight to the Supreme Court. Catalina Velasquez of the political action organization Our Revolution joins Cheddar to discuss what the move means, in light of the looming shutdown deadline. She considers what the request might signal as far the president's willingness to strike a deal on Dreamers.
