Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement to mark the ninth anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative, established by President Obama on June 15, 2012:

"Today, our nation celebrates nine years of the landmark DACA program, which empowers hundreds of thousands of young immigrants to pursue their American Dream. This week, we also mark one year since the Supreme Court affirmed DACA and rejected the Trump Administration's illegal, immoral assault on our Dreamers. As we celebrate these joyous anniversaries, we are reminded of the urgency we face in fully protecting these Americans, so they can continue to strengthen our nation with their talents, hard work and patriotism.

San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement to mark five years since the attack at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, which occurred on June 12, 2016:

"As we mark five years since the shooting at Pulse Nightclub, Americans join Orlando and the LGBTQ community to honor the 49 beautiful souls senselessly murdered while simply enjoying a night of dancing and celebration. Today, our hearts break again thinking of the brave survivors and families of the victims, whose grief I saw firsthand while visiting Pulse five years ago to mourn this appalling act. Tragically, in the years since, we have continued to see gun violence and hate crimes plaguing communities across our nation and leaving behind nearly unimaginable pain.
