A southern city, Charlotte N.C., is emerging as a human trafficking hotspot due to its convergence of highways, demand for cheap agricultural labor and gang activity.
Data found 106 minors were trafficked in Charlotte last year, about half of whom were aged 15 or younger.
This was nearly double the 45 to 60 children identified annually between 2018 and 2022, figures from the city's Metro Human Trafficking Task Force showed.
Statewide, the National Human Trafficking Hotline (NCTH) recorded 301 human‑trafficking cases in North Carolina in 2024, involving 580 victims.
The vast majority of last year’s cases were sex trafficking, but the proportion of victims exploited for forced labor has risen steadily in recent years.
Overall, there were more cases involving children than in any year in the past decade.
Charlotte has also become the focus of an immigration enforcement surge, with ICE and DHS agents raiding homes and businesses across the city overnight, prompting protests from local residents.

Who are the Senators and Representatives from NC. Where are their voices on this? I’m assuming the city of Charlotte itself is probably run by demonicRATS.
When any democRAT or DemoKKKrat mentions "for the children" this is what they are really after. More 'access' to young ones.
Yes, they want to be separate children from their parents and indoctrinate them with their insanity.
During the Hussein/Biden/Harris Regime, they could care less about missing children. Who can say how many were not really missing, but, with the full knowledge of the soulless Leftists, were kidnapped into this debauchery.
We must assume that the protesters are benefitting, personally, from human trafficking, child labor, and worse.
Charlotte is a Deep Blue rathole.
Senators: Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, but republicans.
Representatives: there are four demonicrats and 10 republicans.
Not the least bit surprised.
What the pho? Have they taken vows of silence?
The worst thing anyone ever said to me on here was when some idiot weirdly accused me me of living in Charlotte.
😁
OK, seriously ... I don’t know what their problems are ... but I assume that active protest against ICE is motivated by corruption. Silence? It certainly raises suspicion.
Looks yummy. 😋
We learned all about the Charlotte mayor when the Iryna Zarutska murder broke nationally.
This has been going on in Charlotte for decades.
Translation: They are arresting criminals based on court documents
Democrats still running slaves.
“DHS arrests over 130 illegal immigrants in first 2 days of Operation Charlotte’s Web”
“Since the Department of Homeland Security announced on Saturday that it was “surging” resources to Charlotte, North Carolina, over 130 people have been arrested. The arrests come as part of the DHS’ Operation Charlotte’s Web.
A DHS spokesperson told WCNC, “During the first two days of Operation Charlotte’s Web, Border Patrol arrested over 130 illegal aliens who have all broken the immigration laws of our country. Criminal records of those arrested include known gang membership, aggravated assault, possession of a dangerous weapon, felony larceny, simple assault, hit and run, possession of stolen goods, shoplifting, DUI, DWI, and illegal re-entry after prior deportation, a felony.”
The spokesperson added, “We will not stop enforcing the laws of our nation until every criminal illegal alien is arrested and removed from our country.”
Border Patrol Commander Gregory K. Bovino shared some of the arrests that took place on social media, including criminals with charges and/or convictions for assault, DUI, and larceny.”
Nothing will come from the Epstein papers...
People don't think papers have been destroyed and/or planted?? Don't be naive.
This explains why NC is a swing state now.
It’s girls....trafficking is mostly about young girls being forced into prostitution..but the war on boys continues.
