"For two DACA entrepreneurs, it may be the end of business as usual", 25 Oct 2017

As teenagers in high school, Luis Tinoco and Dulce Garcia rolled in different circles... Garcia, whob [became] a lawyer, runs her own firm and specializes in immigration law. She has around 50 clients, and her degrees, along with an American flag, decorate the walls of her offices. Just a few blocks away is Tinoco's auto body shop. He's been in business for himself for a decade. Between them, these two entrepreneurs, part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program [DACA], employ six people... About 5 percent of DACA recipients have started their own businesses since enrolling in the program...If the program isn’t saved...Garcia said her practice would likely collapse...“I wouldn't be able to walk into an ICE office to check in a client,” she said. “I wouldn't be able to walk into immigration court, because my opponent would be ready to issue a notice to appear for me.”...In the meantime, Garcia is putting her legal training to work — for herself. She and five other DACA recipients filed suit against the Trump administration last month.
