Angelica's Story

When we got DACA, we got wings.

Angelica Villalobos is an entrepreneur, an advocate for local businesses, and a mother to five children all born in Oklahoma. She immigrated to the United States in 1996 at 11 years-old from Mexico. In the future, she hopes to open up her own mechanic and detailing business with her daughter. In January 2017, prior to Trump taking oath of office, Angelica asked then-House Speaker Paul Ryan if he believed people like her should be deported — Ryan said ‘no’ and speculated that Trump agreed and would not take away DACA.
