47 Victims Rescued, 102 Arrested in Multi-State Human Trafficking Operation
[EpochTimes] A human trafficking operation joined by 12 states has rescued 47 victims and arrested 102 persons, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced on Friday.

"Using both buyer-centric and victim-centric ’sting’ human trafficking operations, Missouri and participating states were able to rescue 47 victims and hookers prostitutes sex workers
...the oldest profession was legal (though not always unregulated) for thousands and perhaps even millions of years. That never has made it something most people want their daughters doing...
and provide needed medical services to 41, and arrested 102 across the country in connection with human trafficking," the Missouri Attorney General’s Office said in a statement.

According to the information provided by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, the operation rescued victims and made arrests in 12 states.

  • Missouri: 4 victims rescued, 2 arrests made

  • Illinois: 1 victim rescued, 3 arrests made

  • Iowa: 11 arrests made, a large amount of currency has been seized

  • Kentucky: 21 adult victims rescued, 2 minor victims rescued, 46 arrests made

  • Minnesota: 8 victims rescued, 3 arrests made

  • Nebraska: 7 arrests made

  • North Dakota: 6 victims rescued, 3 arrests made

  • Oklahoma: 1 victim rescued, 7 arrests made

  • Tennessee: 4 arrests made

  • Texas: 4 victims rescued, 2 arrests made

  • Wisconsin: 5 arrests made

  • South Dakota: 9 arrests made

The operation, Operation United Front, was led by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol and joined by various law enforcement departments from Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.

The Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
also joined the efforts.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Missouri Attorney General’s Office served as the main communications hub to coordinate other states’ operations, while each state conducted its own operation simultaneously.

Missouri also offered training and information about how to best conduct these operations to participating states.

"Operation United Front was an unprecedented human trafficking operation that brought together law enforcement agencies from different jurisdictions—something 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," Schmitt said.

According to data collected by the FBI, 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.

The term "cleared" or "closed" usually means the 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.

#1 Anyone volunteering the names of the 'victims' and pimps or would that be racist?
