Immigration Activists Disrupt Event Held by Rep. Nancy Pelosi

HeadlineSep 19, 2017

The lawsuit was filed as undocumented activists and their allies shouted down Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi during a San Francisco news conference, accusing her of using DREAMers as “bargaining chips” in a meeting with President Trump last week in which she sought to win legislation protecting young immigrants in exchange for a more militarized U.S.-Mexico border. The protesters demanded protections not only for DREAMers, but for all 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. After headlines, we’ll speak to Congressmember Luis Gutiérrez and a DACA recipient suing President Trump.
