Dreamers call Pelosi a liar

Riya Bhattacharjee reports at NBC Bay Area,

Several dozen young immigrants shouted down the top Democrat in the U.S. House, following her recent conversations with President Donald Trump over the future of a program that grants many of them legal status.

"We are immigrant youth, undocumented and unafraid," they chanted, taking over a scheduled press conference where Pelosi, along with Reps. Barbara Lee and Jared Huffman, was expected to call for the immediate passage of the Dream Act, a federal proposal that was never approved by Congress but offered many of the same protections as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.

At one point, the group called Pelosi a liar. "It's clear you don't want any answers," Pelosi told the group. "It's clear." Pelosi then walked out of the press conference and told reporters outside, "They don't want the Dream Act."
