Editor’s Note: Corporate media, the vast majority of Democrat lawmakers, and an uncomfortable number of Republican lawmakers want us all to ignore the criminal risks of the illegal alien crisis in America. It isn’t just the rapists and predators that are coming across. Our open borders supply the “products” for sex trafficking, willing and unwilling alike.
Here’s the news portion generated from corporate media reports by Discern Reporter:
Recently, local law enforcement in Polk County, Florida conducted a successful sting operation targeting human trafficking, resulting in the arrest of 219 individuals. Among those arrested, 35 were illegal aliens, according to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. The operation lasted for seven days and aimed to dismantle human trafficking networks in the area.
Of the 35 illegal aliens arrested, 12 were men seeking the services of prostitutes, 18 were prostitutes themselves, and three were identified as victims of human trafficking. Sheriff Judd emphasized that while these individuals were suspects, they were also victims who had been forced into illegal activities to repay debts related to their transportation to the United States.
The illegal aliens apprehended in the operation came from various countries, including Cuba, Chile, Venezuela, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, and the Bahamas.
One notable arrest was 30-year-old Freddy Escalona, who was charged with felony human trafficking. According to Sheriff Judd, Escalona had loaned money to a victim for car repairs, and as a means of repayment, he forced the victim into prostitution. It was revealed that Escalona was taking a significant portion, between 60 to 70 percent, of the victim’s earnings. He confessed to working with multiple female prostitutes.
Sheriff Judd expressed concern over the increasing presence of illegal aliens in such operations and emphasized the need for vigilance across the United States. The arrest of seven illegal aliens in a separate child sex crime operation in Bay County, Florida last month further underscores the importance of addressing these issues.
In one case, an individual with a B-2 tourist visa had failed to leave the country as required by the visa terms in 2021. Another person, who arrived on a J-1 exchange visitor visa, also overstayed their authorized period in the U.S. last year.
These recent arrests highlight the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat human trafficking and related crimes involving illegal aliens. The challenge remains to address the complex issues surrounding these cases and take appropriate actions to prevent such activities in the future.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
