After smiling and occasionally trying to speak through much of the protest, an aggravated Pelosi told the protesters to "just stop it, now," shortly before she was led out of the room.
She was appearing with Democratic U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee and Jared Huffman at College Track San Francisco, a program to expand college access. She was scheduled to appear Monday afternoon in Sacramento for a similar event.
The protests appeared aimed at Pelosi's recent engagement with Trump on the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. The program gives temporary legal protections to immigrants, often called Dreamers, brought to the United States illegally as children or by parents who overstayed visas.
But many protesters said that Pelosi is using Dreamers for her own political gain.
“They’re tokenized,” said undocumented protester Naomi Torres Caripia about the Pelosi’s focus Dreamers. “They are essentially props to her movement and for her to get the Latino vote."
