By Sudhin Thanawala The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO A federal lawsuitonMondayaccused banking giant Wells Fargo of illegally denying student loans to young immigrants who are protected from de- portation and allowed to work and study in the U.S. under a program created by former President Barack Obama. Wells Fargo said it was disappointed the plaintiffs sued instead of working withthebankonasolution. The young immigrants in the country illegally have Social Security num- bers and documents that meet bank requirements for identification, but Wells Fargo refuses to give them loansbasedontheircitizen- shipstatus,accordingtothe lawsuit from the Los Ange- les-based Mexican Ameri- can Legal Defense and Ed- ucational Fund. The loans, meanwhile, are available to U.S. citi- zens and permanent resi- dents, the suit says. It seeks a court order de- claring the policy discrim- inatory and forcing Wells Fargo to grant the loans to those participating in the Deferred Action for Child- hood Arrivals program. It alsoseeksunspecifiedmon- etary damages. "Wells Fargo under- stands the dream of pursu- ing higher education and we remain focused on our responsible lending prac- tices to assist temporary and permanent residents and U.S. citizens in obtain- ing student financing," the bank said in a statement. Banking experts say fi- nancial institutions can face unique challenges get- ting repaid by borrowers who are not in the country permanently, including po- tential difficulty in accept- ing payments from foreign banks. A spokesman for Chase Bank said it does not offer student loans. An email to representatives for Bank of America was not immedi- ately returned. The lawsuit comes amid concern among immigrant groups that President Don- ald Trump will cancel the DACA program as part of a broader effort to control immigration. Trump has signed executive actions over the past week to build awallalongtheU.S.-Mexico border,temporarilybanim- migration from seven Mus- lim-majority countries and suspend the United States' entire refugee program. "It's very important in our view to establish that thereareclearrulesagainst this kind of discrimination, particularly in a time like this," said Tom Saenz, pres- ident and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educa- tional Fund.
