LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- More than 500 suspects were arrested and 56 people were rescued during a statewide human-trafficking crackdown, officials said.
The Los Angeles County Regional Human Trafficking Task Forces announced the arrests of 510 suspects during the three-day sweep, called Operation Reclaim and Rebuild.
During the operation, which took place between Jan. 25 and 27, the task force said 45 adults and 11 girls were rescued.
Among the 510 suspects arrested, 30 are suspected traffickers and 178 are alleged "johns."
The task force is housed by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and is a collaboration of more than 85 federal, state, county and local law enforcement and nonprofit community organizations.

This has nothing to do with the storm which is imaginary. Operation Reclaim and Rebuild is an operation California has run for years at the end of January which National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Here's the news of this from 2016. It used to be mainly LA, but now it's statewide,

irrespective that Op reclaim has run for years, it may have a connection in terms of corrupt officials now being ut of the way to facilitate these / some of these arrests.
Its oddly echoing, there was a California bust by the same Op reclaim almost precisely a year ago with about 470 arrested and 28 kids rescued

It's not oddly echoing. It's an annual operation, happens every year at the same time. This is fourth or fifth year of it. That was exactly my point.
