Seventeen people were arrested this week during a human trafficking operation in Alabama.

This list includes Alabama State Representative Brett Easterbrook, who is facing charges of attempted human trafficking. This case is a concerning reminder of the gaps in oversight that can exist when the very people entrusted with passing laws to protect our children are also part of the demand that fuels trafficking. We are grateful for the law enforcement officers who acted to protect potential victims and hold alleged buyers accountable. At Street Grace, we continue to equip and partner with law enforcement across the country to provide the tools, training, and resources needed to prevent exploitation, disrupt demand, and pursue justice. 🔗 Link in bio to read more.
