A graduate student fears she won't be able to complete her 11th year of college in America because President Donald Trump might deport her.
Oriette D’Angelo, a doctoral student studying Spanish and Gender, Women and Sexuality studies at the University of Iowa, moved from her home country of Venezuela to Chicago in 2015 on a student visa.
The 34-year-old, who is also a professor, chose to flee her home of Lechería after she watched it decline.
Although she's been in the US for years to seek academic and professional opportunities, D’Angelo is scared her dreams could soon be crushed by Trump's administration as he continues to crackdown on illegal citizens in America.
After finding out that her studies might come to an end, D’Angelo, who often writes poetry around themes of dictatorship for class, told friends she would mail Trump's administration notebooks of her work if she was forced to head back to Venezuela.
'It would be almost impossible to start over,' she told the Chicago Tribune.
Over the years, D’Angelo has come face to face with immigration rules and guidelines, including when her Venezuelan passport expired in 2020
She then applied for temporary protected status (TPS), which was introduced under former President Joe Biden to help citizens of countries stricken by war or natural disaster get temporary work.
Because consulate buildings were closed at that time due to Venezuela's shattered relationship with the US, she had to travel to Colombia to renew it, D’Angelo told the outlet.
When she came back to the US in November 2024, D’Angelo was processed under TPS, not her student visa, as she made her way through O’Hare International Airport.
She had officially lost her foreign student status even though her whole reason for moving to the US was for her to study.

She can watch Chicago decline too
She seems intelligent enough
She decided to make poor choices and let things lapse, doesnt seem she ever tried to apply for citizenship or other ways, just let stuff time out
FAFO
She’s a student AND a professor??? Isn’t that educational masturbation?
Leche ria means river of milk?
I’d be willing to bet that she has taken out beaucoup federally guaranteed student loans. And when she leaves, she will leave them to the taxpayers. When you see someone who remains a student for an unusually long time, it’s often to stay in deferment status for student loans that would otherwise be in a repayment period. We have seen this movie before and are sick and tired of it.
,,, there's more money in elecric dog polishing studies.
Well, I guess that's an easy A.
I’m hoping Homan is all over this and gets her out of the country by Saturday.
(BTW, comments at the DM are pretty funny and are unanimous in calling out what a disaster she is!)
“Eleventh year of college”
She’s got Bluto beat by 4 years. /s
Studying sex, comes from a town called Lecheria? Can’t make it up!

Make her “”spouse” pay off the loans.

LOL! Send her back. “Pronto”.
She’s been in college for 11 yrs good lord and look what the idiot is studying it’s always gender studies isn’t it
Wait, what? What language do they speak in Venezuela? And can't she just hold a mirror between her legs to determine her gender?

How long can that possibly take? She already knows Spanish, and there’s only two Gender...
Thanks for submitting your name to ICE, Oriette. More illegals like you should speak up. :)
