Sheriff's Deputies went undercover to catch men picking up prostitutes on the streets of El Paso.

In total, 19 men, including a teacher and a government contractor, were arrested.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Strike Team went undercover to catch "The Johns."

A female deputy posed as a prostitute and was approached by around 30 men.

Once an agreement was made to pay for sex, the Strike Team moved in and made the arrest.

The team targeted parts of El Paso known for prostitution, including truck stops, and areas around Alameda, Montana and Dyer streets.

So far, the names and pictures of the accused have not been released.
