https://www.judicialwatch.org/human-trafficking-ring/ No American state, not even Republican-led Florida with its strict law to mitigate the negative impact of record-breaking illegal immigration, can escape the detrimental effects of the Biden administration’s catastrophic open border policies. A major human trafficking operation recently busted by a multi-agency task force in central Florida helps illustrate that illegal aliens are not just victimizing communities that offer them sanctuary. The problem is spreading nationwide, even to areas where local governments do not welcome illegal aliens or shield them from federal authorities. In central Florida’s Polk County, which has a population of around 780,000, authorities just dismantled a largescale human trafficking ring that resulted in the arrest of hundreds, including 21 illegal immigrants, involved in acts related to soliciting prostitutes, offering to commit prostitution, or aiding and abetting prostitutes. Authorities coined it “Operation March Sadness 2024” and recently confirmed that more than a dozen of the 66 identified prostitutes were likely human trafficking victims. Law enforcement officials issued 70 felony charges and 288 misdemeanors and the suspects’ criminal histories include a combined 879 felonies and 1,150 misdemeanors. At least 11 suspects told detectives they receive government assistance. Illegal drugs such as fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine were also seized in the sting as well as 17 firearms. The eldest person was 73 and youngest 16, officials say.
