Nearly 50 people were arrested this month in Texas - including one high school teacher and a youth pastor - in connection to a sting operation aimed at combatting sex trafficking. Among those arrested were also a volunteer firefighter, a high school and football coach, and the director of operations for a large hospital network in North Texas
Frisco, Texas
- The Frisco Police Department participated in a multi-agency operation targeting the demand for prostitution, which resulted in 23 arrests.
- On January 12 and January 13, Frisco police joined other area agencies in Operation Demand Suppression, a coordinated effort by the Department of Homeland Security to combat prostitution.
The Department of Homeland Security Investigations is a directorate of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
- There are 27.6 million victims of human trafficking worldwide
- Traffickers prey on people of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities
- Human trafficking - a form of slavery - has become a pandemic of the vilest of sins where the victims are not seen as human beings but as objects to be bought and sold for profit
Systematic repression
- Slavery is illegal but it is by no means dead. Why? Because of decades of "systematic repression."
- The repression is rooted in slavery, a deplorable practice that was a major cause of the U.S. Civil War.
- Human trafficking is slavery, and it is alive and well.
