A week in photos: October 10–13, 2017

This week, the Women’s Immigration Group and DREAMers came to the Capitol to voice their concerns and support for the DREAM Act. The House Historian made a quick stop by the office in honor of the first woman in Congress, Jeannette Rankin. And on Wednesday, House members, ambassadors and former secretaries held a meeting on the Iran Nuclear Agreement.
