This is from our local radio station's Facebook page. Maybe there is no more of this than there ever has been, but it certainly seems that we are at least more aware of the fact that it does happen.

~FHP Troopers Arrest Two for Human Trafficking~

On Tuesday, December 31, 2019, Florida Highway Patrol Troopers stopped a 2011 Cadillac Escalade on
Interstate 10 near mile marker 3 for a traffic violation. During the course of the traffic stop, Troopers
discovered that all occupants were foreign nationals and neither the driver nor the passengers were
linked to the vehicle in which they were riding. Upon questioning, the driver became evasive.
Troopers obtained consent to search the vehicle and asked the driver and occupants to exit for their
safety. During the search, two additional occupants were found hiding between the rear hatch and
the third row seats. Multiple items linking the driver and front seat passenger to human trafficking
were located within the vehicle. After further investigation, the driver was charged with Human
Trafficking and Driving Without a License. The front seat passenger was also charged with Human
Trafficking. The remaining occupants were turned over to the United States Customs and Border
Protection.
