"Full disclosure — my office handles crucial casework and immigration cases for the community. We will be open tomorrow to continue community support and defend immigrant families," she posted to Instagram.
Ocasio-Cortez then offered her "full support for national mobilizations, general strikes, and mass movement work."
Organizers for the shutdown campaign asserted online that ICE and Border Patrol agents "are going into our communities to kidnap our neighbors and sow fear."
