An operation in Tennessee has resulted in 13 missing children being rescued or located, officials say, noting the effort was focused on finding children at “high risk” of being victims of human trafficking.
The two-day joint operation—dubbed “Operation Not for Sale”—was conducted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) in partnership with the U.S. Marshals Service, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Memphis Police Department, and Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services, according to a Nov. 9 statement.
