More than a dozen undocumented protesters interrupted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and called her “liar” at an event in San Francisco on Monday.
Pelosi together with fellow Democratic Representatives Barbara Lee and Jared Huffman were holding the event calling for the immediate passage of the DREAM Act.
In her remarks, the House Minority Leader said the undocumented young immigrants also known as Dreamers in the United States are “inspiration to all of us.” She noted that their “courage and patriotism embody the promise of America.”
Pelosi also told the crowd that she and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had a meeting with President Donald Trump about several issues. According to her, they made it clear to the President that they can’t have trust in any conversation unless they address and pass the DREAM Act.
The two Democratic leaders met with Trump after he ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program earlier this month. They reached an agreement with the President that did not include funding for the border wall.
