Creeps arrested on Human Trafficking

Man arrested on human trafficking charges of disabled person; police seek more victims

The Boca Raton Police Department is asking potential victims to come forward following the arrest of a man in connection with an ongoing human trafficking investigation. Maximiliano Buitrago, 51, was arrested along with Charlie Pardieck, 51, on Sept. 16, 2026, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service and the Boynton Beach Police Department. 

The investigation began when Boynton Beach Police shared information with Boca Raton authorities about the possible trafficking of an intellectually disabled adult victim in Boca Raton in July 2025.

According to police, Pardieck, who is related to the female victim, was paid to transport the victim to a studio on North Federal Highway in Boca Raton. There, Buitrago allegedly photographed the victim’s feet, legs and hands, telling Pardieck the images would be sold to third parties for sexual gratification.

This is not Buitrago’s first arrest on human trafficking charges. Boynton Beach Police arrested him in July 2026 on charges involving a minor when investigators said Buitrago posted advertisements near a middle school offering payment for photos of feet and modeling sessions.

Detectives believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Anyone with information about this ongoing investigation is encouraged to contact Detective Davis at (561) 620-6167.

Gangs using Rideshare apps for smuggling

Gangs may be using rideshare apps to smuggle people into country, Border Patrol says

EL PASO, Texas - Gangs might be using rideshare apps to help smuggle people into the country, according to officials.

What we know:
Agents with the El Paso sector of the U.S. Border Patrol said the criminal organizations appear to be using legitimate apps to shield themselves from law enforcement. They often use third-party accounts to arrange pickups in secluded locations, remote highways near the border wall or some commercial parking lots.

What they're saying:
"Cartel criminal smugglers recklessly endanger the lives of rideshare drivers and passengers alike, treating legitimate drivers as disposable tools for their smuggling operations," said El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jesse D. Munoz. "When these trips are intercepted, drivers face immediate detention and asset forfeiture while federal agents investigate their level of involvement in the smuggling network."

What you can do:
Border Patrol said rideshare drivers should watch for passengers wearing heavily soiled clothes, bookings that exceed vehicle occupancy limits or passengers who appear stressed and unaware of their location.

Drivers could be charged with felony charges of alien smuggling and harboring if convicted of participating in the smuggling network, according to Border Patrol. {U.S. Customes and Border Protection]

Human Trafficking; it's close to home

Endangered and Missing Children rescued in Florida

Children Rescued, Eight Arrested in Two-Week Crackdown

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday announced Operation Dragon Eye — a sweeping, two-week child trafficking operation that state officials are calling the largest of its kind in U.S. history.

The initiative led to the rescue of 60 children between the ages of 9 and 17, many of whom were victims of extreme violence and exploitation. Eight suspects now face charges including human trafficking, child endangerment, drug trafficking, and related felonies. In at least one case, bond was set at $250 million.

In tandem with Dragon Eye, the National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF) led a three-day mission in Northeast Florida, dubbed a “targeted sweep.” That effort rescued 25 missing or endangered children aged 7 to 17 across six counties: Clay, Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, Putnam, and Flagler.

Federal authorities say Operation Dragon Eye focused on finding missing children ages 9-17 from Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties over a two-week period. Twenty agencies and more than 100 people were involved, according to officials.

The Fight Against Human Sex Trafficking

Massive 18-state operation shatters Chinese sex-trafficking networks

'In California and New York, they have more illicit massage businesses than they do Starbucks and McDonald's combined.'

Chinese organized crime is fueling a $5 billion-per-year sex-trafficking empire in the United States, operating numerous illicit massage parlors where 75,000 victims are enslaved and traumatized.

This modern slavery crisis was the target of a nationwide operation on Thursday involving 18 states and more than 150 law enforcement agencies, Blaze News has learned.

Dan Nash, the founder of the Human Trafficking Training Center and a retired Missouri state trooper, coordinated the action, dubbed Operation Coast to Coast.

Regarding the Chinese organized crime syndicates, Nash explained that they are "the fastest growing in all of America," noting a 32% increase over the past three years. These groups operate 19,000 of the illicit massage businesses currently operating in the country, he added.

ICE Detainers placed on these illegal sex traffickers

PBSO: New arrests linked to human trafficking case in West Palm Beach

WPTV reporter Kayla McDermott digs through arrest reports where deputies’ investigation uncovered another brothel

We’re learning of two more arrests connected to a human trafficking operation in Palm Beach County.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, all of the suspects are undocumented immigrants.

On Wednesday, Selvin Garcia and Patricia Beilmatorres were arrested at a home on Pinewood Avenue in West Palm Beach in connection to, what deputies call, a human trafficking operation.

Arrest reports show both are in the United States illegally. Deputies accused of them of profiting off the brothel on Pinewood and one on Lake Avenue in Lake Worth Beach.

Last month, deputies raided the brothel in Lake Worth Beach near 1400 Lake Avenue and arrested Yudvin and Glin Zunigalatin. Deputies said the two men are brothers who are here from Guatemala illegally.

Mexico attempting to hold gun manufacturers accountable for cartel killings

Supreme Court likely to shoot down Mexico's $10B lawsuit against US gun makers

Both conservative and liberal justices seemed unwilling to allow the Mexican government to hold gun manufacturers accountable for cartel killings south of the border via their $10 billion lawsuit.

The federal government has granted extensive immunity to the firearms industry, as ABC News reported, to shield businesses from potentially bankrupting lawsuits.

Companies refute Mexico's claims that the statute permits "aiding and abetting" the illegal sale and trafficking of firearms.

Smith & Wesson, Glock, Beretta, and Colt are among the corporations the nation accuses of selling and marketing firearms with the intent to facilitate human trafficking.

Harris responsible for the crisis at our Border

The disturbing truth Kamala Harris does not want you knowing about her reign as border czar

A record of abject failure that cost the livelihoods – and lives – of countless Americans

Read World Net Daily

Vice President Kamala Harris has played a vital role in what is unquestionably the worst border crisis in American history. Over the past four years of the Biden-Harris administration, millions of "undocumented" illegal aliens have poured over the southern border, and this disaster promises to grow much larger if Harris is able to pull out a win over former President Donald Trump in November's election.

Although numbers vary, it is estimated there could be upward of 10 million illegal aliens who have made their way across the border since January 2021. That crisis, in turn, has precipitated a flood of criminal activities. Human smuggling and trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking and gun running are rampant.

Harris officially was given the task of stemming the flow of migrants at the southern border in March 2021, and according to a report from NBC News, Harris' role was to focus on both curbing migrants crossing the border, and implementing long–term strategies to "address the root causes of migration." She was quickly dubbed, and universally acknowledged, as America's "border czar," a title she now denies.



Meanwhile, Harris told NBC's Lester Holt the administration had "already seen success at the border," but balked when Holt stated Harris had not even been to the border, despite her insistence that she had.

And Harris answered with the most stupid reply--"And I haven't been to Europe. I mean, I don't understand the point that you're making. I'm not discounting the importance of the border," Harris told Holt while nervously giggling her way through her answer.

Joe Biden’s failed Presidency has been an absolute catastrophe for the country.

His border crisis is fueling a national crime wave.

President Joe Biden has turned every state into a border state after he threw the southern border wide open.

Polk County, Florida, in the central part of the state, is dealing with the fallout from the Biden border crisis. Florida sex trafficking bust has Homeland Security’s fingerprints on it.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd ran a massive multi-agency, multi-week undercover sex trafficking bust that resulted in 228 people being arrested.

Some 21 illegal aliens from Chile, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela were among those arrested.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the eight-day, multi-agency operation titled "Operation March Sadness 2024" included the arrests of military service members, teachers, coaches and medical professionals.

Illegal Alien sentenced to federal prison

Illegal alien involved in smuggling ring sentenced to 46 years in prison

President Joe Biden's crisis at the southern border continues to worsen to degrees we can't imagine.

However, justice was finally served in one case of a twice-deported illegal alien who was charged with human smuggling and illegal re-entry into the United States, Breitbart reported.

The outlet noted:

Senior U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence E. Kahn sentenced Ruben Altunar-Lopez, a/k/a “Hervin Lopez-Javier,” a 49-year-old Mexican national who was residing in Indiana, to 46 months in federal prison.

It wasn't the illegal alien's first experience with a U.S. prison, as he previously served a six-year stint in a Texas prison for his involvement in a cocaine smuggling ring.

Commerical Sex Ring Busted

DOJ knows who all the Elite Clients are in this Prostitution bust

Elite clients of high-end brothel busted in Massachusetts and Washington DC could be unmasked as feds

seek to charge TWENTY EIGHT people with buying sex

The 28 are believed to be made up of elected officials, government contractors with security clearances, and military officers.

The three brothel leaders named in the criminal complaint are Han Lee, 41, James Lee, 68, and Junmyung Lee, 30...none are related.

'If probable cause is established and criminal charges are issued by the Court, referrals will then be made to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office.

'In addition, we are working closely with Virginia authorities to begin the referral process of sex buyers from the Virginia locations in this case.

As well as locations in Massachusetts, Virginia and California being raided, the government has also seized two websites tied to the ring.

A high-end brothel network serving politicians kept detailed records of their customers along with millions in cash and other damning items in bulk.

Operation Buyer’s Remorse

Over 100 Survivors Rescued and 160 Arrests Made in North East Ohio Human Trafficking Sting

Including EMTs, Nurses, and Educators

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced on Monday the successful outcome of a week-long statewide operation to address human trafficking, aptly named ‘Operation Buyer’s Remorse’.

The purpose of this initiative was to identify and apprehend those looking to purchase sex and also recognize the survivors of human trafficking.

“Operation Buyer’s Remorse” is a weeklong statewide human trafficking crackdown in Ohio. The operation was led by the Southeastern Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force and local law enforcement agencies.

“Law enforcement across Ohio teamed up in a concerted effort to stem the demand that fuels human trafficking,” Yost said.

Humanitarian Crisis at Border

Stop and Listen

Rarely does a political leader say something that makes me stop and listen, unless, of course, it's Donald Trump.

Senator Katie Britt, R-AL, did just that.

For Catholics, the issue of immigration has long been a source of frustration and division. Donald Trump was repeatedly shamed as “racist” and “evil” by Democrats, socialists and Communists for wanting to enforce our border laws and end illegal immigration.

Many priests, bishops, and even the Pope, who without any doubt in my mind is the worst Pope ever, publicly ripped Trump for wanting to “build the wall” and step up enforcement against cartels and those exploiting our laws.

Today the humanitarian cost of illegal immigration makes Trump look like a saint. [catholicvote.org]

Don’t believe me? Watch this powerful speech from Sen. Britt.

Illegal and alleged Human Tafficker possessed?



The video shows border patrol agents with suspected human trafficker going into a fit of rage after being taken into custody in Carrizo Springs, Texas. They asked the suspect to get inside the van so they could shut the doors. The woman suddenly went into a bug-eyed rage.

Border Patrol agents asked the suspect several times to calm down but instead, she began to make loud animal-like growling noises. The agents continued to ask the woman to get back into the van to avoid getting hurt.

At one point an agent could be heard saying “we are going to have to tase you; you aren’t going to like that.”

Biden Admin enabling Human Trafficking says Whistleblower

Whistleblower: U.S. Govt. is ‘Middleman’ in Massive Migrant Child Trafficking Ring

On Wednesday, a whistleblower is set to testify before Congress with bombshell claims that the federal government has essentially become a “middleman” in a child trafficking ring along the southern border, an operation that is allegedly worth billions.

According to Fox News, the hearing before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement will be titled “The Biden Border Crisis: Exploitation of Unaccompanied Alien Children.” The focus of the hearing will be the spike in the number of “unaccompanied children” (UACs) during the border crisis under Biden’s watch.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics indicate that the number of UACs has risen from just 33,239 in fiscal year 2020 to over 146,000 in fiscal year 2021, and 152,000 in 2022. Currently, fiscal year 2023 has already seen over 70,000 UACs encounter border authorities.

Some sponsors of these children are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations.

Senator Josh Hawley who serves on the Senate Committees on the Judiciary; Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; Energy and Natural Resources; and Small Business and Entrepreneurship asked Mayorkas, "Why shouldn't you be impeached for this?"
