Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jennifer and Stephanie Han, two remarkably accomplished sisters from El Paso whose dedication and success in women's boxing has inspired all of us. Jennifer Han, former IBF world featherweight champion and soon-to-be member of the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame, has paved the way for women in the sport, making her one of the most accomplished female boxers in the country and the world. She now lives a quiet life as a mother and trainer at a local gym where she teaches youth programs. Her sister, Stephanie Han, has built her own legacy in boxing with an undefeated record. She earned this year's WBA lightweight title by way of knockout in the first round in under 2 minutes. She is ranked as number two in the world, and beyond her success in the sport, she is a dedicated mother, wife, and officer with the El Paso Police Department where she dedicates herself to public service. We are so proud of both of them. ____________________

This hearing is a very brazen effort to provide political cover to my Governor, Government Greg Abbott, who has unconstitutionally used State resources to try to impose the State's own immigration policies and laws.

It is pretty brazenly and blatantly unconstitutional.
