House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, will speak Tuesday about the DREAM Act, a bill being pushed by Democrats and some Republicans as a legislative solution for the expiring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Pelosi is expected to speak with other Democrats about the DREAM Act around noon ET Tuesday.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he wants to pass a “clean version” of the DREAM Act, unattached to other pieces of important legislation — including tax reform and the debt ceiling — that will make their way through Congress this fall. But some Republicans have said they won’t support that approach. Tuesday’s press conference could offer more insight into how supporters of the DREAM Act, including Pelosi, intend to move forward. In a joint news conference about the DREAM Act with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, earlier this month, Durbin said he hoped to have a vote on the legislation by the end of September.
