Immigration Activists Disrupt Event Held by Rep. Nancy Pelosi
-------------------------------------------------------------

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.
