House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., launched a filibuster of sorts in the House on Wednesday, by taking the floor to talk about the need to pass legislation to protect the Dreamers.

The House was set to start debating the Mortgage Choice Act, but Pelosi took the floor and said she wanted to talk at length about immigration.

A filibuster is an action lawmakers can take in the Senate, not in the House. However, both Pelosi and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., are both permitted to talk at length on the floor because of their leadership status. Both of them often request one minute to speak, but go on for several minutes, a privilege afforded to them because of their status.

Pelosi warned the House shortly after 10 a.m., when she started speaking, that she was going to take advantage of her “leadership minute” to speak as long as she can.

UPDATE: As of 6:15 PM, Pelosi continues to speak. This is the longest floor speech in house history.

UPDATE: Pelosi ended her speech around 6:20 PM.
