Federal and local authorities rescued more than 30 missing children and uncovered multiple trafficking operations targeting vulnerable youth during a coordinated crackdown across Texas.

The effort, centered in San Antonio, led to arrests, felony warrants and several new investigations under a joint mission known as "Operation Lightning Bug."

Teams from the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) out of San Antonio, Del Rio, Midland, and Pecos joined forces with San Antonio Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit, Special Victims Unit, Street Crimes Unit and covert operatives. Together, they combed through Texas and national crime databases to identify at-risk juveniles and coordinate recovery efforts.

The results included:

Three arrests for harboring runaways

Nine felony warrants executed

Six sex trafficking survivors rescued and connected with support services

Five new trafficking investigations opened

More than 30 missing juveniles located

More than 120 additional juveniles voluntarily returned home, clearing their names from missing persons databases

The Trump administration has done more to locate missing and exploited children than any previous administration I can recall. Both Obama and Biden administrations were complicit in child sex trafficking. Bless Tom Homan, President Trump, and other LEOs for trying to rescue those poor children.

Another revenue stream for Democrats drying up so they can’t be too noisy about it!

Names on client list! Epstein was a piker compared to some of these trafficking groups. He threatened the wrong folks.

You have got to be kidding! Haven’t you heard of Biden’s daughter’s diary?! She had to shower at random times during the night in order to keep Biden from visiting. He was a total pedophile and enabled cartel pedophilia in all 50 states when he was President.

I agree with you 100%. Last year I told my adult daughter that all the Amber alerts was not a good thing. Abductions were rare when I was her age.
