House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday called on the GOP-controlled Congress to pass the Dream Act by year's end.

Pelosi appeared at the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights with community leaders and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival recipients in Los Angeles.

The San Francisco Democrat said she has confidence Republicans and Democrats will be able to work together to pass the Dream Act.

President Trump "said we had shared values when we spoke to him," Pelosi said. "I trust that he will honor that commitment because the American people want him to do so."
