In an official press release by Humberto O. Garza, Public Information Officer for the Eagle Pass Police Department, officers of the Eagle Pass Police Department initiated an operation in an attempt to deter and prevent alleged acts of prostitution within the city.  

An officer of the Eagle Pass Police Department assigned to this operation was solicited by a female and the female subsequently arrested for solicitation of prostitution.

39 year-old Dora Moraida was transported to the police department where she was processed and later presented before Municipal Court Judge Ruben Montemayor and transferred to the Tom Bowles Detention Center in lieu of a $2,000 bond.

What is not known is who and when local merchants in the downtown area may have contacted local law enforcement to address this issue when according to citizens this type of activity is nothing new as any given Monday Friday or Saturday, there are reports of these individuals in and around the downtown area as well as in the areas of the two flea markets.
