On Saturday, The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article about the successful rescue of 47 human trafficking victims in twelve states.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A human trafficking operation joined by 12 states has rescued 47 victims and arrested 102 people, Missouri<\/a> Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced on Aug. 27.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cUsing both buyer-centric and victim-centric \u2018sting\u2019 human trafficking operations, Missouri and participating states were able to rescue 47 victims and sex workers and provide needed medical services to 41, and arrested 102 across the country in connection with human trafficking,\u201d the Missouri Attorney General\u2019s Office said in a statement<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the information provided by the Missouri Attorney General\u2019s Office, the operation rescued victims and made arrests in 12 states.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missouri: four victims rescued, two arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Illinois: one victim rescued, three arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iowa: 11 arrests made, a large amount of currency has been seized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kentucky: 21 adult victims rescued, two minor victims rescued, 46 arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota: eight victims rescued, three arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nebraska: seven arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Dakota: six victims rescued, three arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oklahoma: one victim rescued, seven arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tennessee: four arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Texas: four victims rescued, two arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wisconsin: five arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Dakota: nine arrests made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cOperation United Front was an unprecedented human trafficking operation that brought together law enforcement agencies from different jurisdictions\u2014something that rarely happens. When we all come together, we can affect change and more effectively fight human trafficking, a crime that is often multi-jurisdictional in nature,\u201d Schmitt said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to data collected by the FBI<\/a>, there were 1,883 human trafficking offenses reported in 2019, with 875 of the offenses cleared or closed, including 18 offenses that involved minor victims under the age of 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The terms \u201ccleared<\/a>\u201d or \u201cclosed\u201d usually mean that law enforcement departments have made arrests, the suspects have been charged, cases have been turned over to the court for prosecution, or the offender has been identified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a national problem that is being exacerbated by the border policies of the Biden administration. Many of the so-called family units coming in are cartel members bringing in young victims of sex trafficking. We need to close the southern border and increase our efforts to end this horrific crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
