Because the travesties there are, of course, continuing under their administration even though they highlighted them as a monstrous act by the Trump admin. That is why they are adverse to doing such a photo op - it would not be in the context of "resistance", but as "reluctant facilitator" (per their PR strategies), and they would rather not talk about it at all.
