Garibay said she is concerned that sharing student information with the agency could lead to violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects students’ identifiable information, such as citizenship status or social security number. thedailytexan.com/2025/11/20/t...

Housing is a top concern for Garibay. She said many teachers, students and workers she has spoken with cannot afford to live in Austin and have to commute from outside cities to afford housing. #JuntosforJusticeUnidosforChange #TeamMontse #HD49 thedailytexan.com/2025/11/11/a...
