PORTLAND, Ore.—A federal grand jury in Oregon has returned two indictments charging six people with running sex trafficking organizations operating in the U.S., Canada and Australia.
The FBI partnered with local law enforcement agencies in more than a dozen cities across the nation to coordinate sting operations targeting the organizations operated by defendants under indictment in Oregon, along with other Asian sex trafficking networks. As part of the takedown operation, the FBI seized the primary website used by one of the organizations, www.supermatchescort.com, and about 500 other associated domains, including 25 location-specific sub-sites.
“Protecting vulnerable foreign nationals from criminal traffickers seeking to exploit them for profit is a critically important law enforcement mission. Trafficking adults for sex can at times be overlooked by our society because some believe the adult victims have a choice. This notion is false. These victims are powerless and often thousands of miles away from their home, native language and personal connections who might help them escape. We have always and will continue to aggressively pursue criminals who exploit vulnerable victims,” said Billy J. Williams, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
According to the indictments, Mark Chen headed a criminal enterprise that recruited women, primarily from China, to travel to the U.S. and elsewhere to engage in prostitution and other sex trafficking activities. Within the cities the organization was operating, a “boss” would oversee and manage a local brothel in a hotel or apartment complex. Customers seeking to engage in acts of illegal prostitution would call a number listed on www.supermatchescort.com or related websites, or send a message by text, email, or WeChat, an encrypted internet messaging service based in China. The organization employed dispatchers who would receive incoming requests from potential customers to set up “dates.” The dispatchers would coordinate and schedule the “dates” with women working at the various brothels.
Dispatchers used a computer program to schedule and track all of the prostitution dates. This computer program had a customer database that logged more than 30,000 customer phone numbers with details from previous dates. In Oregon, defendant Zongtao “Mark” Chen promoted illegal prostitution activities that occurred at brothels in Portland, Tigard and Beaverton.

Wow, ok you gave me a mindful amount to go off and explore.
Never heard of this 'Turkey Farm' but did any of your research regarding trafficking/kids reveal this 'Finders' group (C_A Op) back in the 60s-70s?

Fascinating thread going on over at Methods concerning this Obama tweet.
Jan 22 2018 21:47:32 (EST)
What would happen if texts originating from a FBI agent to several [internals] discussed the assassination (possibility) of the POTUS or member of his family?
What if the texts suggest foreign allies were involved?
Forget the Russia set up [1 of 22].
This is only the beginning.
Be careful what you wish for.
AS THE WORLD TURNS.
Could messages such as those be publicly disclosed?
What happens to the FBI?
What happens to the DOJ?
What happens to special counsel?
What happens in general?
Every FBI/DOJ prev case could be challenged.
Lawless.
Think logically.
We haven’t started the drops re: human trafficking / sacrifices [yet][worst].
Those [good] who know cannot sleep.
Those [good] who know cannot find peace.
Those [good] who know will not rest until those responsible are held accountable.
Nobody can possibly imagine the pure evil and corruption out there.
Those you trust are the most guilty of sin.
Who are we taught to trust?
If you are religious, PRAY.
60% must remain private [at least] - for humanity.
These people should be hanging.

It seems that the US population has to be let into the water gently and then the water must be heated slowly until the truth is realized. Consider that it is easier for the US population to believe untold corruption in other countries than in the US.
Is the revelation in El Chapo's trial that Nieto took a $100 million bribe the start of things? Will this be what is used to slowly enter the US problems? Will El Chapo reveal that US politicians and agencies also took bribes? Maybe this is the fuse that has been lit.
Reporters from NYT, NY Post and NY Daily News filed and objection with Judge Cogan, requesting access to a letter with redaction filed by prosecutors who seek to limit cross-examination of CW1 or “El Rey Zambada who just finished direct questioning yesterday. Citing law and constitution, and the lack of court conclusion on record that would warrant the sealing of the document number 451, which is under seal from yesterday.
Supposedly there are concerns of EL Rey’s safety, yes, prosecutors want to limit the cross examination for El Rey’s safety, reporters say is unfounded, as his identity is well known.
As part of his plea deal the government brought the family of El Rey to the United States for “their safety”.
In his ruling Cogan stated his concerns individuals and entities who are not parties to the case and who would face "embarrassment and harassment". Therefore he is limiting evidence surrounding El Rey’s testimony.
Judge Cogan grants the request of prosecutors to limit scope of cross examination. Defense wanted to question El Rey about “arson”, threats and a bribe of a government official.
Cogan also stated there were numerous other “bribes” and seems to concentrate on one particular bribe he wants off limits as being “potentially inflammatory.”
Also in the ruling is a particular reference to the witnesses “Unorthodox interest” [unusual beliefs or interests] being off limits, which he states may be “eccentric” but is not probative of character. It appears to be religion or something similar.
The defense wanted to use his beliefs as proof of mental illness.

Shes about to pass away, is what shes about to do (if it hasnt happened already). She has 1 good lung, pneumonia and possibly still dealing with broken ribs. Pneumonia is what kills old people in many similar cases to RBG's. If they are now hinting that she has that, its game over. She is not going to be able to clear the mucus out of her lung in her condition. Forget about serving on the Supreme Court.
Doctors say they expect her to be back on the bench in February, and until then she will review transcripts from her home and participate in the court’s decision-making remotely.
Ginsburg, who is 85, suggested this summer that she intends to serve “at least five more years” on the court. She is far from the first justice to linger on the bench into advanced age.

Just yesterday we read,

My, how the wheel of fortune has turned at the speed of light for her!
FWIW - I think she is still alive but most likely won't last much longer - certainly not for another 5 years.
