Three individuals were arrested and four sex-trafficking victims rescued in a human trafficking operation conducted by the United States and Peru in the Peruvian town of La Pampa, Madre de Dios.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Peruvian National Police (PNP) on Feb. 5 were alerted to a case after a mother filed a police report about an alleged trafficking event in the region involving her daughter.
