Renewal Application: Court Hearing and Jessica Colotl

renewal application: Colotl's parents brought her to the U.S. illegally when she was 11, according to Metro News. She went on to graduate from college and applied for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012. As 29-year-old Jessica Colotl awaits the outcome, her latest experience highlights some young immigrants' fears of the Trump administration's immigration policies. She was approved in 2013 and successfully renewed twice but learned in early May that immigration authorities had revoked her status and denied her latest renewal application. I knew it would destroy my life, and it did that basically in a matter of seconds, she said following a federal court hearing in Atlanta on Thursday. Colotl said the news devastated her and immediately forced her to stop working as a paralegal and driving. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
