Over 300 People ARRESTED In Human Trafficking Stin

For people to say that slavery doesn’t still exist, they would be incorrect. Sure, the way that most Americans understand slavery and the general type that the Civil War was fought over may be a thing of the past but slavery is still sadly a thing in the world.
It’s gone more underground and isn’t as in your face as it might have been at the time of the Civil War.
Human trafficking is something that has been around for a long time and most of the time it ends up being a case of someone being kidnapped and never heard from again.
You hear about it and it’s the theme of movies but there is usually one thing that you see during your travels that makes you realize how serious the problem actually is.
A couple of years ago my niece gave birth to a boy and my wife and I spend about ten or twelve hours at the hospital waiting for her to give birth. We spent enough time in the waiting room of the maternity section of the hospital to set up a tent and hire housekeeping.
From where I was sat at this hospital, I saw a big sign telling people if they were victims of human trafficking what to do in order to notify a member of the hospital staff so they can get free. In the maternity ward of a hospital…the maternity ward. The weight of that was never lost on me.
Most of the people that commit these horrible acts, illegal aliens who the worst thing that can happen to them is they get sent back to their point of origin.

Authorities arrested 339 people during a three-day human trafficking sting in California, law enforcement officials announced Tuesday.
The statewide operation, dubbed “Operation Reclaim and Rebuild,” rescued nearly 50 victims— including 14 minors—in the three-day sting involving participation from hundreds of law enforcement officials and 93 agencies from various counties.
Officers mostly arrested pimps who placed their sex-trafficked victims up for sale and other suspects who sought sex from underage victims, according to sheriff’s officials.
Officials say some of the rescued sex trafficking victims were runaways while others had been discovered through online chat rooms or social media sites.
Many law enforcement agencies tracked down these victims and suspects using technological means, such as using bots to send text messages to those suspected of soliciting sex from their victims.
“Many, if not most of our victims, are homegrown; born in the U.S. or in California. They come from our backyard,” Lt. Daniel Stanley, who works with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office, told KFSN.
The sting took place during a fitting time, as the federal government designated January as National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month.
