Live: House Democrats press conference on Keep Families Together Act In a recent press conference, House Democrats came together to discuss the Keep Families Together Act, which focuses on immigration reform, particularly in relation to family separations at the U.S. border. Key figures such as Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Whip Hoyer highlighted the urgency of the situation and the need for legislative action to protect families. During the session, they criticized the current administration's immigration policies, with mentions of public backlash against family separations. The discussion revealed a complicated legislative landscape, wherein Republicans expressed hesitance regarding their ability to pass comprehensive immigration reform, citing difficulties in securing votes within their own party. The press conference also addressed the broader implications of existing policies, noting how recent executive actions impact both public sentiment and legislative efforts. Notably, mention was made of American Airlines calling for the government to cease using its services to transport separated children, aligning their corporate values with family unity. Overall, the press conference reflects ongoing tensions surrounding immigration legislation and the Democrats' push to address humanitarian concerns effectively. This highlights both the challenge in navigating partisan politics and the critical need for reform aimed at family preservation.
