Child Sex Trafficking Fastest Growing Crime as Secret Service Agent, Teacher Arrested in Massive Sting

As reports show America's fastest growing crime is child sex trafficking, a nationwide sting nets thousands of predators ensnaring secret service agent and school supervisor in the processWashington, D.C. - This week the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of more than 2,300 suspected child sex offenders, including a member of the U.S. Secret Service, and identified nearly 400 abused children during the three-month operation that ended in May. Of those arrested, 195 were suspected of producing child pornography or committing child sexual abuse.

"No child should ever have to endure sexual abuse," Attorney General Jeff Sessions noted in a Justice Department press release. "And yet, in recent years, certain forms of modern technology have facilitated the spread of child pornography and created greater incentives for its production. We at the Department of Justice are determined to strike back against these repugnant crimes. "

MS-13 spreads to 22 states, fed by 300,000 illegals, DACA recipients, tied to 207 murders

The vicious MS-13 gang, [allegedly] stifled under former President George W. Bush, exploded during the Obama era fueled by 300,000 illegals, including those given amnesty under the DACA program, and has now been linked to crimes in 22 states, according to a new report.

Colorado Heroin Ring Arrests Highlight Illegal's Role in U.S. Crime

Six people - most of whom had been deported previously - have been charged with participating in a heroin ring in Colorado.

Jefferson County District Attorney Pete Weir announced the 61-count indictment on Thursday....

Fred Elbel, co-director of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform, told LifeZette the bust highlights the need for a tougher approach to illegal immigration.

"It should come as no surprise that individuals apprehended in the heroin ring are predominantly illegal aliens," Elbel said. "A reasonable response at this time would be to secure America's border and to implement mandatory E-Verify so that illegal aliens will not be able to displace American workers."

... According to the indictment, Fermin Flores-Rosales, 41, collected the money and on occasion wired it outside of the country....

"This indictment and the dismantling of this heroin ring goes a long way toward stopping the flow of heroin into our community," Weir said in a statement. "This is a great example of teamwork between local and federal law enforcement agencies in Colorado."...

"We don't even know what the statistics are in sanctuary cities because we don't have data," he said. "We don't know what we don't know."

Michael Cutler, a former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) agent who served for a decade on an interagency drug task force, said there is no reliable way to determine that because the government does not keep track of it and some states and municipalities actively obscure the residency status of people in jails....

President Donald Trump's administration, which last month released data showing that about 20 percent of federal inmates were born in foreign countries, has committed to trying to build a national database of the immigration status of people incarcerated at the federal, state and local levels.

Immigration, Law Enforcement, and Human Trafficking

Furthermore illegal alien workers who are willing to work for substandard wages under substandard, indeed illegally dangerous conditions, not only displace lawful immigrant and American workers but ultimately create downward pressure on wages of all workers who are similarly employed.

A Cop Speaks Out: Illegal Mexican Nationals Murdered My Buddy Execution-style in Arizona

Cartels are growing marijuana illegally in California and there's a war brewing

Even as California embraces the booming legal marijuana market, though, it is also seeing an explosion in illegal cultivation, much of it on the state’s vast and remote stretches of public land. National forests and even national parks have seen a surge in large-scale illegal “trespass grows,” some with tens of thousands of plants spread across dozens of acres. As much as 80 percent of illegal pot eradicated in California is grown on federal lands, and that’s just the fraction that authorities find. (Trespass grows occur in other states in the American West, and even in remote areas back east, but at nowhere near the scale of California.) 

The surge has overwhelmed land-management and law-enforcement agencies, whose resources are already stretched thin. Here in the Plumas National Forest, for instance, three USFS officers have to cover some 4,600 square kilometers (1,790 square miles). That’s why so many different agencies are cooperating on this raid.

As the executive director of the non-profit Integral Ecology Research Center (IERC), Gabriel’s usual purview is studying ecosystems and their inhabitants, from big cats to endangered invertebrates. He never expected to find himself packing heat and creeping through the forest, let alone facing other threats to his and his family’s safety. But he has taken up the challenge because of illegal pot growing’s insidious side effects: The lethal poisons growers use to protect their crops and campsites from pests are annihilating wildlife, polluting pristine public lands, and maybe even turning up in your next bong hit.
