In February, 18-year-old Daniela Pelaez, the valedictorian of her graduating class, was almost deported. Her family moved to the United States from Colombia when she was four years old, and they stayed in the country after their visas expired. Now Dartmouth-bound, Pelaez is advocating for a bill to keep students in similar situations to hers in the country. The bill is called the Studying Towards Adjusted Residency Status Act, or STARS.
