Mitzie Perez, a plaintiff in a lawsuit against Wells Fargo, poses for a photo in Los Angeles, Monday, Jan. 30, 2017. Perez applied for a student loan from Wells Fargo online to help cover the costs of her education at the University of California, Riverside. She had a Social Security number, license and passport, but was not able to proceed with the loan application after she disclosed she was not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. The suit comes amid concern among immigrant groups that President Donald Trump will cancel Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as part of a broader effort to control immigration.
