Anthony Woman, 43, Booked at Doña Ana County Detention Center for Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Esmeralda Vasquez, a 43-year-old resident of Anthony, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 22, 2026. Registered under booking number 2600007627, she faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear. Records indicate the arrest took place at 1 Pete Domenici International Blvd. in Las Cruces. A failure to appear charge typically stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. In this instance, Vasquez is being held without bond following the encounter with law enforcement at the international border crossing area. This type of warrant allows authorities to detain an individual until they can be brought before the court to address the underlying legal matter. The charges are allegations, and Vasquez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
