GOV. ABBOTT ISSUES ORDER AFTER TWO LAREDO, TX WOMEN ARRESTED FOR HOME BEAUTY SERVICES AMID PANDEMIC: “Though Castro-Garcia and Mata both faced a punishment of up to 180 days in jail for their violations, both were released on bond shortly after their arrest. ‘It may also ensure that other Texans like Ana Isabel Castro-Garcia and Brenda Stephanie Mata who were arrested in Laredo, should not be subject to confinement. As some county judges advocate for releasing hardened criminals from jail to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is absurd to have these business owners take their place.’”
