Elected officials in L.A. and California relentlessly assault reality, while the people they demean and demonize spend their days running down people who traffic children for sex.
Expanding on my last post, here’s another thing The New York Times Magazine didn’t mention in a major story on the child prostitution crisis along Figueroa Street in South Los Angeles. It’s this, and note both the date and the name of the office:
So the Times asks, “Can Anyone Rescue the Trafficked Girls of L.A.’s Figueroa Street?” But someone has intervened in that sex trafficking of children on Figueroa, and can go on making serious arrests that are likely to lead to long prison terms for the traffickers, breaking the trade on the street. Operation Broken Blade was a cooperative effort between local and federal law enforcement:
In one of the most disturbing and far-reaching human trafficking cases in recent memory, federal and local law enforcement agencies have arrested multiple members of the Hoover Criminal Gang in Los Angeles, charging them with operating a violent sex trafficking ring that exploited girls as young as 14. The arrests were the result of a coordinated pre-dawn raid dubbed “Operation Broken Blade,” led by the U.S. Department of Justice, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
The 31-count federal indictment alleges that members of the gang used beatings, starvation, rape, branding, and psychological manipulation to control their victims — many of whom were minors, runaways, or in the foster care system. Prosecutors say the gang ran its operation along the notorious Figueroa Corridor, a stretch of South Los Angeles long associated with commercial sex work and human trafficking.
Criminals who traffic children can be caught and held accountable when agencies across different levels of government work as partners, disregarding political conflict and posturing. A bit earlier, a similar operation bringing together local police resources from many different agencies led to a long list of state trafficking charges from the post-Gascón Los Angeles County DA’s Office.
The New York Times story depicts a small and overwhelmed local police unit struggling to stem the tide of child prostitution in Los Angeles, but doesn’t mention that federal law enforcement has offered significant help, and has done so quite recently. The Orange Man Bad narrative exception makes the positive discussion of Trump-era federal partnership … problematic.
Similarly, the California Values Act of 2017, passed as a rebuke to Trump during his first term, forbids local police cooperation with ICE or HSI, but allows exceptions — including permissible cooperation in the event of sex crimes against children. The endless demonization of federal law enforcement by California and Los Angeles elected officials ignores the degree to which federal agencies have offered significant and sustained partnership with local officials against child sex trafficking. Idiot Mayor Karen Bass relentlessly depicts federal law enforcement agencies as cruel, hateful organizations full of bigots who just run around torturing helpless brown people for no reason, and here are some sample screenshots from that linked video:...SNIP
Grumbling because their toys are being taken away..... Just sayin’.
"Child trafficing? You can reach me in Ghana. I'm getting an award for being a top US mayor."
How .many of the Democrat’s are actually using the trafficed kid’s as whores just curious & want to know why the Republicans ain’t tearing the RAT a new asshole every time they can.
2 Thess 2:11-12: God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
That pretty much says it all...
The democrats can’t tell Right from Wrong , it really confuses them
Top political leaders HAVE to be profiting from and/or participating in these trafficking operations. The PROOF is that they do little or nothing about it.
Absolutely agree 100%
sex work
I wish they would use the term “prostitution”; I suspect “sex work” was coined by the left to make prostitution seem more acceptable as a vocation.
Remember that about 300,000 illegal immigrant children are still missing. Who is coordinating the trafficking that so many were likely sold into?
Reprobate minds on display.
If they do not repent they will find out the hard way exactly what Our Lord thinks of their antics....something about millstones and eternal wrath....
Good question
When Trump sent the national guard to Memphis and Chicago, trafficked children were rescued in each city.
I’m sure there are a whole bunch in LA.
