Immigration enforcement authorities rescued 27 human-trafficking victims in Nebraska last week. Among the victims Immigration and Customs Enforcement rescued were 10 children under the age of 12, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“Our brave ICE law enforcement rescued these children and women, who were being sexually exploited and trafficked,” said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant DHS secretary.
The human-trafficking ring was being run by illegal aliens, according to the DHS.
President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem “will not allow children and women to be victims of these heinous human-trafficking rings,” McLaughlin said. “Our message to human traffickers is clear: We will dismantle your networks, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That’s a promise.”
Illegal aliens were running the trafficking operation, which also included drug trafficking, out of motels and eyebrow salons in the Omaha metro area, according to the DHS.
“Victims were crammed into cockroach-infested rooms and trapped in squalor, with no basic sanitation or safety,” the DHS reported in a press release first obtained by The Daily Signal. “Children and adults were being sex-trafficked.”
Five illegal aliens have been charged in the bust and will remain in custody pending judicial proceedings and removal.
“ICE has placed immigration detainers on all five Indian illegal aliens arrested to ensure they are not released back into the community after completion of their federal criminal charges,” according to the DHS.
During the operation, law enforcement seized more than $565,000 in cash and illicit drugs.
In addition to the 27 victims and the five illegal aliens who were said to be running the trafficking ring, ICE also took 14 other illegal immigrants into custody who were reportedly living alongside the victims.
Guillermo Infante Arevalo, an illegal alien from Mexico, was among the 14 and has a “history of child endangerment, drug and firearm possession, and illegal reentry,” according to the DHS. Criminal illegal immigrants Eudis Enrique Cuellar-Martinez of Venezuela and Pablo Martinez Canas of El Salvador were also arrested.

The death penalty would prevent repeat offenders.
Biden and everyone in his administration should be held accountable for this travity.
Those who patronize this sort of thing need to be prosecuted also.
I’m wondering how many customers were also arrested. Until we start seriously punishing child rapists, pedofiles and johns this will just continue.
The women and children used for prostitution, held by human “trafficking” ring, could they by called slavers? Where are those never stopping about the evil of slavery and evil of white men, somehow they are missing , kitty cat must have gotten their tongues.
What is being done about the users? Is the ICE working with the FBI to go after the customers?
Anything short of their keisters being deported to CECOT Prison in El Salvador should be considered unacceptable! These people actually deserve far worse!
they need to be in a solitary confinement ring for life.
Castrate them and then put them in prison
Build that wall and fill the Rio Grande with alligators/crocodiles and piranha. And fine Mexico…..they shouldn’t let them in at their southern border to begin with.
27 out of hundreds of thousands doesn’t seem like a lot….but to those 27, it’s the world.
The ONLY justice for these children of Satan traffickers is to HANG THEM IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE AT NOON ON SATURDAY. However, if they give up the names and locations of all the kingpins and organizers of this evil, they get life instead of the rope.
As for the leaders/organizers, I can’t say what they’d get here, but let’s just say they’d curse their mothers for having them.
That would send a verry clear message to these demons from Hell.
wow ain,t it ammazing ICE does what our county,local,and state people won,t do.
The money they found with the illegals should be split between the 27 people
Thank you to ICE for rescuing these children and women. I know this report will not make major news. Thank you for Virginia sharing this news!
This really needs to made into a capitol offense, nationwide, automatic death sentence upon conviction. This is the results of a liberal government. Crime, misery, death.
Great news! Now release the Epstein Files as they too have child traffic related crimes therein. If President Trump is in some way involved beyond merely being a known passenger more than once on Epsteins “Lolita Express” airplane, then he should explain the facts as he sees them so the public can decide on any further actions.
Remember, it was Trump himself that repeatedly promised to release these files numerous times during his 2024 campaign.
Do the right and honorable thing President Trump.
