Fox Exclusive: Nationwide human trafficking bust targets Chinese organized crime networks
Fox News ^ | 10/17/25 | Brooke Taylor

Fox News exclusively embedded with the Austin Police Department as part of a nationwide human trafficking operation targeting illicit Chinese massage parlors.

A loudspeaker blared, "Austin Police! Search warrant! Come out with your hands up," as detectives from the Human Trafficking Division swept one illegal parlor.

Inside, a sign advertised spa services, and another ironically warned against human trafficking. However, it didn’t take long to sense there was something much darker going on. The rooms were disheveled with mattresses, towels and shower beds.

Simultaneously, officers raided a second illicit massage parlor minutes away, where a woman was found sleeping and there were signs others were living there as well. Detectives collected evidence tied to trafficking, including cash and paperwork.

The raids were part of a nationwide crackdown, "Operation Coast to Coat," involving more than 150 law enforcement agencies across the country, including teams in Texas, North Carolina, California, Missouri and New York.

The focus was the illicit massage industry, which serves as a major human trafficking hub and moneymaker for Chinese organized crime networks.

And Democrats just today were rallying for, in essence, a continuation of this behavior.

Years ago I worked with a contractor demolishing a Chinese restaurant. The upper floor of the place had been used as a kind of dormitory with folding beds and discarded clothing. It was clear there were illegals living above the dinning area.

The boss told me he’d demolished a couple of Chinese restaurants and found the same thing.

An Asian “massage parlor” was recently busted in Rockland, Maine. My home/auto insurance agent was involved. Make that, my former insurance agent.

Where there is two or more of ccp mainland chinese gathered together there is theft and graft..........

It’s ingrained in their minds, their bodies, culturally, intellectually and by government decree.

To be absolutely frank it only takes one of them....

They believe if you ain’t lying, you ain’t tryin!....

And if you follow the money just how much will be filling the pockets of the ccp?

I heard it from a Chinese American-to the Chinese it’s ok to break any rule as long as you don’t get caught.

Jury duty-didn’t get selected. The Chinese couple were provided interpreters. They grew an illicit marijuana farm inside a house. Bypassed the electric meter and kept the lights on 24/7. Tore out the floors for planting.

Was anyone arrested? The story reads like the first place was deserted, the second had only one person in it, asleep.

Sounds like someone snitched on the Austin PD (maybe someone ON the Austin PD).

And I was hoping for a "happy ending".
