Born in Mexico, Marlene has lived in the U.S. since she was six years old. After graduating from Norman High School, she was planning on pursuing a career in the dental field, but her plans were put at a halt after immigration put her in detention. Marlene, 23, had applied for DACA, but she was detained before her papers were processed. A member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, she is always willing to lend a helping hand. She is a great part of our community, and to take her away from us would be heartbreaking.
