 As part of a joint investigation through the California Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement, Bureau of Investigation, San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force (SDHTTF), AG Bonta today announced the results of Operation Home for the Holidays. The annual, multi-jurisdictional operation works to combat human trafficking through targeted enforcement utilizing undercover officers to arrest potential traffickers and by offering support to survivors. As a result of the multi-day operation, 19 individuals were offered support services, and 10 arrests were made. The arrests have been referred to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.  

“Operation Home for the Holidays is a key part of our efforts to keep our communities safe for the holidays and all year round. I want to thank our partners at the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force, who work to support victims, survivors, and their families. Together, we will continue to disrupt human trafficking operations and achieve meaningful results that uplift vulnerable Californians.” – AG Bonta
