Watch Video: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Rally For Immigrants On White House Lawn
February 12, 2019
Among throngs of pro-immigration supporters, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York rallied Tuesday morning in favor of permanent residency protections for nationals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), in front of the White House.
Along with fellow Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Ocasio-Cortez stirred members of the crowd with demands to “see the humanity” in TPS holders, many of which face the looming threat of having their statuses revoked by the Trump administration.
