Cutoff Time: Car Insurance and Daytona Beach

cutoff time: Lopez, 30, blamed the chaos of Hurricane Irma while juggling a move from Miami to Daytona Beach as reasons why she missed the cutoff, according to Metro News. As a result, her status as a recipient of DACA ends Friday. Lopez said she arrived at the post office just after the cutoff time and missed the deadline set by President Donald Trump to renew her paperwork for the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program that helps young immigrants brought into the country illegally. Her driver's license, car insurance and housing lease are all in jeopardy once the program goes away for her. The government is playing with the lives of families. Everywhere I go, everything and everyone reminds me I have an expiration date said Lopez, who is still trying to show proof that she attempted to send her renewal package the day before the Oct. 5 deadline.
