Federal judicial service

In 2006, Saldaña was selected to serve as a United States magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.[2] She was sworn in on March 27, 2006.[1][3]

During the 111th United States Congress, Democrats from the Texas House delegation and Republican Senators John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison agreed to recommend Saldaña for a Laredo vacancy on the Southern District of Texas.[4] On July 14, 2010, President Barack Obama nominated Saldaña to replace George P.
