Trump ended DACA specifically to hold young law abiding American residents who had done nothing wrong as political hostages to negotiate funding for his stupid wall that he said Mexico would pay for. It didn't go well.
I don't like the obstructionist Mitch McConnell playbook here, and I think the shutdown is shitty. I think Dems share some blame for that, but I think it's important to keep in mind that the ENTIRE reason they are in this situation is because someone who is very bad at politics was trying to play games with people's lives.
