22. The judge, in a move that sparked a debate over language in often bilingual U.S.-Mexican
border communities, said Cabrera’s English was not of the level needed to carry out the
professional duties required of a representative of the public. A notice of appeal was filed with
the court late on Friday afternoon, according to Brandon Kinsey, one of Cabrera’s attorneys.
(A) Kinsey said that his client should not be innocent unless proved otherwise.
(B) “Whether or not she is the best candidate is a decision left up to the voters,” he said.
(C) “It should not be left up to a judge.”
(D) Immigrant rights activists said the initial court decision misunderstood a community that spans
both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border.
