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.

you can tell these mass arrests are fake news, because they never name the suspects arrested, and you will never see any of these suspects convicted

Not sure about that....Trump HAS made prosecution of human trafficking a priority, and arrests/indictments HAVE gone up, but the fact you haven't seen it in the news isn't really a problem yet.
Even folks caught in January 2017 --if going to trial-- wouldn't be at trial yet.
Most are pled down, and many would remain sealed during this process because many pleas would be based on the criminal's ability to name names, and name them "up".
We wouldn't be hearing about the "deals" yet, and no way would the ones going to trial would be even scheduled yet.
