Dulce Garcia grew up in a predominantly Mexican and Mexican-American community in the USA. She is undocumented and found it impossible to find financial aid for college. So, she attended college at night and on weekends while working as a paralegal along with other jobs in order to pay her way through school. She has a bachelor's degree in Political Science and a law degree with a concentration in Civil Litigation. When Dulce opened her private practice in 2016, she provided over 100 free consultations and over 20 Know Your Rights workshops to inform community members of their rights. She also volunteers to represent low income clients in court in collaboration with the Mexican Consulate and various non profit organizations. In 2017 Dulce and other DACA recipients formed San Diego Border Dreamers to advocate for more humane immigration laws and policies. Dulce also sued Trump and the administration after the termination of DACA on September 2017. As a result of those efforts in court, hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients are able to renew their DACA status while the case is in litigation. Dulce was in the Supreme Court on November 12, 2019 defending DACA.
