A human trafficking sting called Operation Autumn Sweep nabbed 157 suspects, including three Disney employees and 25 illegal immigrants in Polk County, FL. Police also rescued four potential victims of human trafficking in the process, Fox13 reported Thursday.
Those charged were allegedly soliciting prostitutes or offering to commit prostitution. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told a news conference Thursday that, of those arrested, 47 were prostitutes, 96 were clients, 1 was a human trafficker, and 14 had other charges pending. Judd noted that the eldest client was 61 and the youngest was only 15. He said the group had a total of 327 prior felony and 400 misdemeanor charges.
"16 percent of these total arrests were people who should not even have been in this country, but they were here, and they were here because we have a federal government that enabled these criminals to come into the country, and then treated them very well after the criminals came here illegally," said Judd

Wow, it seems that this is on top of a similar sting they did in 2022 -

What's up with Florida?

They keep fishing for carp when they should be fishing for sharks. The real criminals behind the trafficking enterprise are safe at home or abroad, shielded by some of the most clever and cold blooded lawyers money can buy.
Yeah, it does read like that doesn’t it, ugh.

From the above it looks like they consider everyone a criminal, prostitutes, clients and traffickers, so I wonder how was the distribution of those illegal immigrants. Were they clients, prostitutes, traffickers?

YEP!
Where is that arrest list for the Johns that raped children at Epstein's events? How many years does that list have to float around without so much as an announcement of "questioning of the suspects"... At least call them in for a discussion.

You need evidence to get a conviction. Being on a list of names, or even being accused, doesn't imply guilt. There have been at least 3 convictions of those on this list:
