A coalition of several agencies recovered 70 missing children from Texas, Colorado, and Mexico after a three-week operation that ended in mid-May.
The mission, named"Operation Lost Souls," saved children between the ages of 10 and 17. Many were runaways that became victims of sex trafficking or physical and emotional abuse. A majority of them were found in Texas.
"The agencies provided victim services and counseling to the recovered children and their families," according to a press release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.“We are grateful for all of our law enforcement partners who participated in this operation and who work around the clock every day to protect our communities, including our youth," DPS Maj. Matthew Mull said at a May news conference on National Missing Children’s Day.
