Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety announced last month they have rescued more than 900 children being smuggled into and through Texas from Mexico by human traffickers.
DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez announced the arrests were made as part of Texas’ border-security mission, known as Operation Lone Star.
Among those rescued was a 5-year-old Honduran girl who’d been smuggled into Texas by three adult women who weren’t related to her. The women found the girl in Piedras Negras, Mexico, and then brought her with them as they crossed illegally into Texas between ports of entry.
According to The Center Square, authorities said the girl was allegedly being brought into the United States to reunite with her mother.
But her mother had died three days prior. The girl told troopers her father was still in Honduras. She was turned over to Border Patrol.
In a recent traffic stop in neighboring Kinney County on a major local smuggling route, troopers pulled over a driver of a black GMC Sierra. The driver, a Mexican national who was illegally in the U.S., said he was coming from Houston to pick up friends. The trooper observed six passengers in the rear area of the truck and later learned they were all in the U.S. illegally, including two children.
When asked how the driver was related to another passenger in the car, he said they were “just friends.” When asked what his friend’s name was, the driver said he only knew his “nickname.”
Later on, through the conversation, the driver admitted that someone from Mexico texted him an address to pick up a group of people who’d illegally entered Texas.
Watch the video below and say a prayer for those in law enforcement who have not allowed themselves to be corrupted and who still go to work every day with the intention of protecting we the people.
The driver said he was not being paid. Ha! Right. All human smugglers are paid on a per-head basis for every illegal they help over the border. The amount they get paid depends on where they are taking their human chattel. In Texas, Houston is the primary human trafficking hub, but every state has one, where men, women and children are sold to the highest bidder, either for their labor or for sex.
The driver in this particular case was charged with smuggling of persons and everyone inside was turned over to Border Patrol. A rare outcome. Usually these satanic human traffickers never get caught.
Texas DPS troopers told The Center Square that they are also arresting MS-13 gang members, sex offenders and those in possession of child pornography. A DPS brush team recently helped arrest a Mexican national and coyote who was illegally in the U.S. after he guided four people across the Rio Grande River into Texas. On the coyote’s phone were pictures and video of child pornography. The Texas Rangers took over the case, and the Mexican national was charged with possession or promotion of child pornography.
Texas troopers are also identifying MS-13 gang members who are hiding in family units as they illegally cross into Texas. In a recent case, DPS Criminal Investigations Division troopers assisted Border Patrol agents with a large family group after they illegally crossed the Rio Grande River in Eagle Pass. They noticed an adult male from El Salvador trying to conceal himself in the group and apprehended him.
They identified him as a possible national security threat with ties to transnational organized crime as well as confirmed he was an MS-13 gang member with eight prior apprehensions and a street-level drug dealer. Let’s hope he doesn’t end up on the streets of an American city, but somehow it wouldn’t surprise me if he did. Just because someone is apprehended doesn’t mean they get deported. They get handed a piece of paper notifying them of their court date and they simply never show up.
The border is center stage for the federal government’s operational war against America.
Tim Ballard, who started the anti-sex trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad more than a decade ago, says the border situation is bleak.
“The border policies that we have in this country are actually incentivizing traffickers,” Ballard told Fox News. “If you’re an unaccompanied minor coming into this country and you’re released to anyone, this is very dangerous.”
The movie Sound of Freedom tells the story of Ballard’s effort to save children from sex traffickers in Columbia, and he attended a private screening on Capitol Hill last month hosted by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
The New York Post reports that lawmakers from both parties were invited to the screening, but no Democrat in the lower chamber took up that offer.
Amazingly, some folks are criticizing the film. Even some Christians have jumped on the bandwagon trying to discredit the film, for reasons that have nothing to do with its message. I don’t get it. I will never get it.

Here’s another twist on human trafficking—surrogancy services. Many poor countries are doing this. The Ukraine (which has a reputation for human trafficking) has a booming business in selling infants spawned from surrogancy services. The service is run from the Ukraine by a Swiss company BioTexCom, the international leader in this business. https://thegrayzone.com/2023/07/28/ukraines-baby-factories-profits-war/
This company also anticipates that many countries will have a 50% decline in population in the next 50 years. So they are developing artificial baby hatcheries—artificial uteruses– to help counter climbing infertility rates. In addition to the artificial uterus to develop a child, genes can be edited by computer biotech, the company predicts. The only obstacle to be overcome?
“When asked how BioTexCom plans to resolve the multitude of legal and ethical issues surrounding his futuristic baby factories, the CEO (Tochilovsky) offered a disconcerting solution.
“The most important thing,” Tochilovsky insisted, “is to prohibit law enforcement agencies from interfering in the work.”

An extract from a newspaper article I read this morning in the Daily Mail UK.
“Horrifying moment eight-year-old girl is wheeled through the streets in a suitcase after being abducted by her family’s apartment caretaker in the Philippines”
“An eight-year-old schoolgirl has been rescued after she was abducted and stuffed in a suitcase by her family’s apartment caretaker in the Philippines.
Jin Nichole You, who has dual Filipino and Korean nationality, was returning home when she was bundled into the case in the district of Bakilid in Mandaue City, Cebu province before noon yesterday.
Her family became worried when they realised she had not come back.
Mum Tyree Rendal frantically checked the apartment’s security cameras and was horrified to see an unidentified person in a hoodie inside the property’s gates.
The suspect was seen dragging along a large black suitcase believed to have concealed the girl.”
Thanks to the mother’s diligence and the immediate police response the child was quickly rescued and the criminal was arrested.
He was already a suspected thief, so I believe that he would have sold the child to a trafficking ring.
The article shows video footage of the man wheeling the suitcase down the street.

Should crimes such as this be punishable by executing the perpetrator? My gut feeling says, yes.

I have read that many ‘branches’ of drug cartel are trafficking children exclusively because there is more money to be made than with drugs. A few years ago one the state lawmakers in CA put forth a measure to make beastiality legal in that state. Robert DiNiro, out spoken F* Trump this and that, is known to be involved in actual physical child sexuality in France and Germany. Why do you think all the starlets are so proud to announce their many abortions. Because they know the blood will be use for the making of andrenochrome blood. This is from many article I have actually read over the years not, heard, and usually need to read from more than one source before I believe it. I did not need to read the one about the measure being put forth about beastiality from more than one source though!
Peace be with you, Renee

If there wasn’t a market there would not be sex trafficking. Aren’t we going about this the wrong way. Yes, arrest the traffickers, but also aim at the root of the cause, Arrest those paying, that way we can get rid of most of our politicians.

Judging by the huge number of kids being trafficked globally (not to mention just across our border), the market for them here must be ENORMOUS. They are trafficked not only for sex, but slave labor, human parts, drug couriering, among other things. How to break that market when it seems our own government policies are actively enabling human trafficking across our wide-open border and the prosecution of child sex consumers is so tepid, slow or ineffectual? Wonder if our politicians and/or government officials have a vested interest in keeping this going? The same cartels that run drugs across our border are running women and children for prostitution. And there’s plenty of US citizens trafficked as well. Remember all those missing children that were pictured on milk cartons?
Something bad wrong when our society is such a big consumer of this.

Politicians and gov. officials definitely have an interest in keeping this going. Kinda like early 20th century mafia during prohibition and running liquor and gambling operations. Decades ongoing moonshine stills then sheriffs got paid off knowing they were hidden in the county, but let them continue on. Human trafficing is far worse and gov. looks the other way. Otherwise borders wouldn’t be wide open for anyone to walk thru. No politician will do anything either.

There are not enough jails to jail every pervert. Most child abuse happens in the family home.
As internet porn makes perversion easily available to all ages, many people begin with curiosity and fall into addiction.
Internet porn should be banned but in the ‘free world’ the porn industry has free reign.
Years ago there was a move in the UK to put control measures into place but the porn industry took the matter to the European court, saying that such legislation would be an infringement on their right to fair trade. The European court ruled in favour of the porn industry.
Western society is in free fall. Morality is no longer the guardian of people’s behaviour. Legislation is only good if it can be enforced. Sadly Western society has passed the Rubicon, in my opinion.

One thing I can’t get my head around is how our precious friend Jesus suffered, died a vicious death and rose even to save traffickers, porno creeps, drug pushers–even the putrid Brandon-gang scum. Would He really save them? My faith is tested almost to extinction. I wrestle Holy Spirit daily, stubbornly gripping a burden of hate, disgust. AMEN, Jesus Christ is Messiah, He is their Judge…and
I’m NOT!

On an issue that we ALL should be standing together to scream “God’s children are not for sale!” and doing everything we can to stop child trafficking and child pornography there are those who fight against it. Why who those people are working for is not exposed says it all. Just horrific.

ReBecca: Exactly why we home church, too much inconsistancy along w/ shallow conversations and sermons. Besides group activities can be stressful mentally and wastes time when people are not on same level and same values. Many “church goers” are historical Christians (never saw themselves as lost), also cannot understand prophecy and old test. judgements on cities or groups of people. I sometimes get sermons/lessons from several independent churches far from me, online.

We do what we can do as Christians every day. Never turning a blind eye, staying in tune and led by the Holy Spirit. Even if everything seems futile it really isn’t.
Because God is omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence etc. He will bring to light all things and absolute justice will eventually prevail. Nothing, absolutely nothing escapes His notice. He is merciful AND He is justice.
That’s a great motivation to know this our magnificent God the Lord Jesus Christ rules and reigns even though the enemies of Christ have come in like a flood. He doesn’t lose any battles. And this battle is the Lord’s.
