As part of a nationwide, joint effort by over 150 law enforcement agencies, non-profits, and corporations, Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the results of Operation Coast to Coast. The operation occurred on May 29, 2025, across 19 states simultaneously with the goal of sharing all intelligence, identifying trafficking victims, and arresting traffickers. As a result of the operation, 74 individuals were arrested for alleged human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and other criminal offenses, and 98 individuals were offered support services. The multi-state operation is part of a regional effort to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation through targeted enforcement, relying both on surveillance of known locations and officers working undercover. “The objective of this operation was to work together to increase the total number of human trafficking investigations and prosecutions nationwide, to hold perpetrators of human trafficking accountable, and support survivors along the way. It is vital that we carry out our goal in a manner that is trauma-informed and culturally competent. That’s why our special agents receive specialized training and experience to appropriately handle these cases with the sensitivity, compassion, and the care they deserve. I am thankful for these strong national partnerships and look forward to all that we can accomplish when we work together.” – AG Bonta
