Nancy Pelosi Speaks In Support Of Dream Act To A Friendly Crowd At Sac State

House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was met by a friendly crowd Monday at a Sacramento State event where she and other leaders spoke in support of the Dream Act - which would protect certain so-called Dreamers from deportation.

The applause was in stark contrast to an event in San Francisco Monday morning...when protesters spoke over Pelosi and forced her to cut the press conference short.

CapRadio Reporter Julia Mitric, who attended the event, spoke with host Randol White Monday afternoon with some details on the event and the fate of DACA:

 

Here are some impressions from the event:
