In her prior role as a Staff Attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), Samantha Serna Uribe testified before the Texas legislature regarding a proposed state law to create a state immigration agency and how the law conflicted with federal law.

"Empowering state officers to decide who unlawfully crosses the border with Mexico conflicts with federal immigration law, as does creating a state immigration offense,” she told the committee."
