A human trafficking operation in Florida carried out over the past three months has led to the arrest of 123 people. Among those arrested include a spiritual leader‚ a nurse‚ and a teacher‚ according to WTVT.The name of the three-month operation was known as Operation Renewed Hope‚ carried out by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office's Human Trafficking Squad. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said detectives carried out several undercover streetwalker and hotel/motel operations. The operation also included online chats. During the virtual chats‚ detectives posed as minors available for sex. Chronister also mentioned that detectives posed as the guardians of minors who were available for sex to lure predators.Chronister said he decided to conduct the operation during the holidays when children would be out of school and more present online‚ according to the report."I wanted to ensure that our children would be protected and those wanting to pay for sex and wanting to fuel the sex trade were not getting a free pass because of the holidays‚" Chronister said. After the authorities arrested 123 people who were charged with human trafficking-related crimes‚ Chronister said that a basketball coach‚ a spiritual teacher‚ and a nurse were involved. "These are individuals who betrayed our trust‚" he said."These suspects know what they are doing is wrong. Even a few of them that were arrested‚ and we’re seeing a trend – they drop their cell phones‚ they take their cell phones somewhere else before they show up to have sex with this young child because they don’t want their wife to be able to track where they are at‚" Sheriff Chronister said. "They know what they are doing is wrong."Fox News Digital reported that since the Human Trafficking Squad was launched‚ it has successfully arrested 604 individuals and charged 36 with trafficking-related crimes."What I find even more impressive is the fact this squad has rescued 28 victims from the grips of human trafficking‚" Chronister said. "That is 28 people whose lives were saved thanks to the hard work and dedication of the men and women on this team."Chronister went on to say that those involved know they are in the wrong. Oftentimes‚ the men leave their cellphones behind before showing up to have sex with a minor so that their wife does not know where they are‚ per the report. Like Blaze News?

A rabbi in Queens showed up at a historic synagogue to say his prayers — that is‚ until a group of "extremist students" tore down the interior walls eventually leading to the discovery of an underground tunnel‚ according to Fox News Digital.The underground space in question was allegedly created by a small group of Orthodox Hasidic students who thought they were carrying out a religious call to expand the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters located in Brooklyn.There were reportedly six members of the small movement who began digging the tunnel in secret. The New York Post reported the dimensions of the tunnel‚ which was "3-foot-high‚ 20-foot-wide‚ 50-foot-long tunnel." The members used their hands and crude instruments to dig. The members stuffed the loose dirt they dug up into their pockets so that the sect's leaders would not know what they were up to‚ according to a source within the Orthodox community.“You’ve seen the movie ‘The Shawshank Redemption’? That’s what these young men did at first: They dug and put the dirt in their pockets‚” Eitan Kalmowitz said‚ who is a member of the Lubavitcher community in Crown Heights.After the men began the project‚ they eventually gathered enough money to hire a group of migrant workers they referred to as "Mexicans‚" according to Kalmowitz. However‚ it is not certain if the laborers were actually from Mexico. The hired workers reportedly lived in an abandoned building for the duration of the work. The building was located at 770 Eastern Parkway‚ per the report.“The Mexicans lived in the building for three weeks during the work‚” Kalmowitz said. He went on to mention that the workers did the work "correctly‚" installing support beams. “They slept and ate there because it was a secret operation.”Another member of Chabad said they were shocked by how the group of young men were able to conceal the project for as long as they did.“I was surprised by the stealth and secrecy of it all‚” a Chabad member said who did not want to be identified. “It’s incredible to me that they kept it under wraps. The yeshiva boys are very idealistic‚ extreme.”A Chabad rabbi who did not want to be named said some of the students are on visas from Safed — a holy city in Israel that is generally considered the birthplace of Kabbalah‚ otherwise known as Jewish mysticism.Like Blaze News?

An Alabama judge has determined that Kenneth Eugene Smith — a convicted murderer — will be the first human to face death by nitrogen hypoxia later this month‚ according to Fox News Digital.Smith's legal team tried to stop the process‚ but they were unsuccessful. Smith was sentenced to death in 2022 for the 1998 killing of a preacher's wife. The preacher‚ Pastor Charles Sennett Sr.‚ hired Smith and John Forrest Parker to murder his wife. The two men carried out the killing after being promised $1‚000 a piece from Sennett.This is not the first time Smith has faced the death penalty. In 2022‚ the state attempted to lethally inject Smith‚ but the operation was bungled. The report noted that Smith's attorneys said in legal filings that putting him back into the state's execution chamber would constitute double jeopardy‚ and that to test out the new form of execution would violate his constitutional rights.However‚ U.S. District Court Judge R. Austin Huffaker rejected the request. He dismissed the argument that nitrogen hypoxia was new‚ going on to say that lethal injection was also nice at one time. Even though Smith's attorneys tried to communicate the theoretical risks of the new method‚ the judge determined that those risks did not present an unconstitutional violation. Huffaker went on to say that "Smith is not guaranteed a painless death‚" adding that "[o]n this record‚ Smith has not shown‚ and the court cannot conclude‚ the Protocol inflicts both cruel and unusual punishment‚ rendering it constitutionally infirm under the prevailing legal framework."NBC News reported that Alabama's new method of execution would include placing a respirator-type face mask over Smith's nose and mouth‚ replacing oxygen with nitrogen‚ causing him to suffocate to death. Alabama is just one of three states — Mississippi and Oklahoma being the other two — that have made the execution method legal.Huffaker added that there was no evidence to suggest that death by nitrogen hypoxia "is substantially likely to cause Smith superadded pain short of death or a prolonged death."Smith's attorneys also noted that the gas mask would interfere with Smith being able to pray aloud or make a final statement before the execution is carried out. However‚ the Alabama attorney general's office said these concerns are speculative. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
