Rep Michelle Lujan Grisham Crashes a Meeting at the White House

Sat, 1/20-Meeting on DACA but leaving out the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus? Grisham says, "No!"

Speaking by phone from a late night meeting in DC, Grisham recounts how she was able to make her way into a meeting of congressional leaders discussing DACA with the President. She points out that this was more than just a stunt; it was a way to make bring home-DACA is important to New Mexicans and the Hispanic Caucus. Her real-life stories of New Mexicans who would be forced to leave if DACA is rescinded got the attention of the President.
