Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody Thursday announced the successful rescue of 10 victims of human trafficking and the formation of a new statewide strike team dedicated to combating this heinous crime.

The announcement was made at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s  Tampa Bay Regional Operations Center, where Moody highlighted the critical need for increased efforts to address human trafficking in the state.

The Strike Team is comprised of Attorney General Moody’s Statewide Prosecutors, Florida Department of Law Enforcement analysts and agents, Hillsborough and Pasco County deputies, as well as counter-human trafficking investigators and victim advocates to assist local law enforcement in identifying and tracking down leads in trafficking cases across the state. 

 “Biden’s border crisis is emboldening transnational criminal organizations, and as a result, we are seeing horrific human trafficking cases right here in Florida. The disturbing facts of this case highlight the need for our new statewide Strike Team, and demonstrate how this expert team of investigators, prosecutors, analysts, and victims’ advocates can help coordinate efforts to take down trafficking operations and rescue victims. Until Biden does his job and closes the border, we must continue to develop new methods to deal with international crime rings that exploit Biden’s reckless agenda to perpetuate crime in Florida,” said Moody.
