The North Texas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and FBI Dallas’s North Texas Child Exploitation Task Force announce the conclusion of Operation Soteria Shield, a month-long collaborative enforcement effort conducted in April 2025 aimed at rescuing children from online sexual exploitation and bringing perpetrators to justice. This operation was run in conjunction with the National Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and was jointly managed by the FBI Dallas Division, Dallas Police Department, Plano Police Department, Wylie Police Department, and Garland Police Department.
More than 70 Texas law enforcement agencies joined forces throughout the month of April to combat the exploitation of children in the digital space. These agencies leveraged the expertise of highly skilled computer crimes investigators that worked around the clock to identify victims and apprehend offenders engaged in the production, distribution, and possession of child sexual abuse material.
Operation Soteria Shield resulted in the rescue of 109 children and the arrest of 244 offenders. In addition to these enforcement actions, investigators seized extensive volumes of digital evidence, including terabytes of illicit data stored on electronic devices that were used in the commission of these crimes. These devices are undergoing forensic analysis and may lead to further arrests and the identification of additional victims.
I’d give you 10 to 1 odds that all of these criminals are strident Maga Trump supporters.
And not a single trans person either I’d bet.
I bet most of them are affiliated with a Christian church of some variety, at least 60%
Incoming pardons
And that the kids probably have Latino last names. There’s a lot of children without parents going into the system. Don’t let a pedophile become president kids.
Facts.
Just like that other guy who was torturing baby monkeys in a blender had a gigantic trump maga flag right next to a confederate flag in his home.
It’s always the ones you most expect.
At first glance I thought this was like a home school cult but the truth is even more abhorrent and unimaginable.
Was this roughly 100 families or like a large network for human trafficking? I may be naive but I have trouble believing that either would exist at such a scale.
For a country the size of the us a hunderd is a very small amount.
There are troubled teen services where parents pay to have their “problem” kids “legaly” abducted to send to reeducation camps. Suprise suprise they return with ptsd and tell stories of both torture and other abuse. Those “legal” institutions can have 100+ kids enrolled any given time.
I am also sure you heard of Epstein. These horrors definitely exist on very big scales with huge network as fucked up as that is.
50,000 minors are trafficked for sex each year.
It is the second most profitable criminal industry.
There are millions upon millions of child sexual abuse material files reported each year.

The title made me think 244 children (and not offenders) were arrested.
I mean, it IS Texas.
They’re probably going to hold new elections to replace the republican reps in jail now or they won’t have quorum.
Funny Tim Ballard and OAR is nowhere to be seen
Now how fast until most of these “illegal” children being exploited are handed over to ICE and deported and then the pardons roll out
