“Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez is a fantastic choice for the Fifth Circuit, a court that has too often sided against women’s rights, voting rights, and civil rights. No single judge will make our judicial system perfect. But the Constitution and I can tell you from personal experience - it matters to have your peers represented across the legal system. Diversity, equity, and inclusion make our democracy stronger. It’s a good day for Judge Ramirez, her family, the American people, and our founding principles,” stated Congresswoman Sylvia R. Garcia.
Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez is currently a US magistrate judge of the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas. She was previously nominated by President Obama to serve as district judge. If confirmed, Ramirez will be the first Latina to serve on the Fifth Circuit bench.
