By Virginia Allen | The Daily Signal

Immigration enforcement authorities rescued 27 human-trafficking victims in Nebraska last week. Among the victims Immigration and Customs Enforcement rescued were 10 children under the age of 12, according to the Department of Homeland Security.  

“Our brave ICE law enforcement rescued these children and women, who were being sexually exploited and trafficked,” said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant DHS secretary.  

The human-trafficking ring was being run by illegal aliens, according to the DHS.  

President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem “will not allow children and women to be victims of these heinous human-trafficking rings,” McLaughlin said. “Our message to human traffickers is clear: We will dismantle your networks, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That’s a promise.”   

Illegal aliens were running the trafficking operation, which also included drug trafficking, out of motels and eyebrow salons in the Omaha metro area, according to the DHS.
