Excerpts from the article:

“The U.S. Marshals Service said it has recovered 45 more children in an anti-human-trafficking operation in southern West Virginia and southern Ohio during the month of October.”

“Operation Autumn Hope” was described as a multi-agency law enforcement operation focused on human trafficking as well as finding missing or endangered children. In all, 45 missing children were rescued, and 169 arrests were made, according to the U.S. Marshals, as reported by WCMH.”

“Earlier this month, Donald Washington, the head of the U.S. Marshals Service, told Fox News that about 1,300 missing children have been found by the agency since the 2016 fiscal year.”

“The service also has carried out other operations around the United States, including in northeastern Ohio, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, and Georgia. In those operations, more than 100 children deemed endangered or missing were recovered.”

“And in Ohio, officials said on Sept. 21 that 35 children were found.”
