Police in Nederland, Texas, are supporting the adoption of a zoning ordinance restricting massage parlors to industrial areas of town as a means of fighting human trafficking.
"This is a nationwide trend where massage establishments are a haven for labor trafficking, human trafficking and other nefarious deeds," Nederland Police Chief Gary Porter said at a Monday City Council meeting, Port Arthur News reports. "We're just trying to get ahead of the game on this, so we're not having a problem like that."
