JUST IN: Over 30 Missing Children RESCUED from Trafficking in Texas During Major Operation


Under the Biden regime and its open-border policies, thousands of children were sadly exploited and went missing.

But now, underneath President Trump, federal and state authorities are working to locate and rescue these kids.

Recently, U.S. Marshals and local authorities teamed up in San Antonio, Texas to conduct a major operation — dubbed “Operation Lightning Bug” — with the goal of finding and saving missing children.

Over 30 kids were rescued from human trafficking operations, and multiple felony warrants were issued.

Fox News has more:

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

Each recovered child was interviewed by SAPD’s Special Victims Unit to determine whether they had been victimized. Survivors were referred to support services provided by agencies such as Health and Human Services to ensure long-term care and protection.

U.S. Marshal Susan Pamerleau, for the Western District of Texas, said in a statement that protecting children remains central to the Marshals Service’s mission.

“The safety of our children is the safety of our communities, and justice demands that we protect those who cannot protect themselves,” Pamerleau said. “Through Operation Lightning Bug, we reaffirm our promise to safeguard the most vulnerable and strengthen the safety of our communities.”

This is some great work by law enforcement.

It’s amazing how many crimes are actually being solved now that President Trump is in charge…

Keep in mind that underneath President Trump, border crossings have slowed to zero.

Just think of how much child trafficking President Trump has already prevented since he took office again in January.

But, it’s not enough to stop there.

Let us pray that all of the children who went missing these past several years are found in similar operations across the country!
