Conducted from June 2 to June 13 by a coalition of over 100 personnel from roughly 20 law enforcement agencies—including the U.S. Marshals, Florida Attorney General’s Office, FDLE, local police, social charities, and healthcare professionals—Operation Dragon Eye is being called “the largest child rescue operation in U.S. history” .
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
By its conclusion, authorities had safely located and recovered 60 “critically missing” children aged 9–17 from Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. Many were at imminent risk—from exploitation, substance abuse, or domestic violence—with several underage girls discovered to be pregnant victims of traffickers.
The operation didn’t end with the rescues. Each child received immediate medical attention, psychological debriefing, optimized care, and long-term support programs. One particularly moving moment saw a young pregnant girl weep tears of hope upon hearing her unborn baby’s heartbeat for the first time—marking a miraculous step toward a future shaped by God’s grace rather than trauma.
Among the operation’s results were eight arrests, with charges ranging from human trafficking and child endangerment to drug-related offenses. Florida’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, and FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass emphasized that this is a decisive message: “Florida will never be a safe place for traffickers”.
Heavenly Father, thank You for rescuing these precious children. Bring healing to their minds, bodies, and spirits. Empower every caregiver, bring justice to abusers, and let Your light shine in their darkness.

I said a prayer below this morning, but I would like to add some additional comments.
All of us need to be aware and on the lookout for this evil because it goes on all around us. Right under our nose.
Particularly in areas that are close to ports where the victims are brought in.
Twice when I was spending time in Savannah I encountered what I knew to be a trafficked victim.
One of the cases I saw a man pulling a young late teens girl along and she looked completely unsure of what was happening.
The hotline number to call for human trafficking is 888 373 7888.
I called it.
The police were made aware of the area.
I was watching for them to arrive but the couple shuffled off at a quick pace and I being older failed to intercede. When the police did arrive it was minutes later and they said unless I saw any serious action against the girl that they would be unable to intervene.
In the second case I was in a hotel room in Savannah at 5:30 in the morning and there was crying from a young girl in a room close by and the gruff sound of a man’s voice. I opened and closed my hotel door loudly hoping to stop the actions.
Security came up and heard nothing and said they could not do anything more unless the cries were heard again. And then they clocked out and went home.
I called the police and the police said there was nothing they could do about it unless I had evidence. I asked them to please come and sit in the lobby and wait till these people checked out of the room and I believed that the young girl would be frail and drugged up.
Wasn’t that evidence enough?
This goes on in hotels every weekend by military bases. The average buyer is a 30 year old white male with cash in his pocket. But that certainly doesn’t discount all the rest of the population.
And and the pimps could be anybody.
Know this is not about women and girls only, it includes plenty of boys and young men as well.
I saw both restoration and victory in my time working with victims, as well as defeat and death.
True Justice in North Carolina headed by an amazing woman named Traci Klein is doing a phenomenal job rescuing the abused and educating police, airlines, teachers and whole communities to this brutal and prosperous evil.
If you need a good cause to give to, look up True Justice and pray for them!
Why haven’t we heard about this on the national news? If it was broadcast, I totally missed it. This is just the kind of action that should wake up a segment of America and get people to paying closer attention to the plight of these innocents. And, it will be a call to prayer to protect not only those trafficked but to those of the coalition that are working tirelessly to stamp out this evil.
LORD, I come to You with many praises and thanksgiving! Your name is lifted high today as I come to You by Your name of Yahweh Rapha, The Physician. We ask that You lift the heads and souls of these many children who have been rescued from child slavery. We know, Lord, that they have been greatly abused by evil filled people. Heal every one of them in the many ways that only You know are needed. Be with each child individually as You are leading and guiding the trusted adults whom You have provided on this journey of healing. I pray that while on this journey, these children will hear Your voice and respond to You as healer and shepherd. All praise and glory belong to You and to the Father and to Holy Spirit. Through the blood of Jesus I pray, Amen.
We pray to you Father through Jesus Christ our Lord that all missing children and trafficked individuals will be rescued and the traffickers be arrested and justice he served. Please God be with our law enforcement to keep all of us safe and especially protect the children and women from the evil in this world.
Praise Jesus! How can I participate.
Very thankful for this operation!
Makes me think how much manpower it took to rescue just 60 young ones from the hands of evil perpetrators. And I also think of the hundreds of thousands still missing and how much work it will take to release them!
Heavenly Father, thank You for rescuing these precious children. Bring healing to their minds, bodies, and spirits. Empower every caregiver, bring justice to abusers, and let Your light shine in their darkness. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, amen and amen.
Stories and the reality of the the exploitation of children in THIS COUNTRY breaks my heart. I imagine the heartbreak of our heavenly Father when he surveys such hideous sin. Thank you for publishing some good news on this front.
Thank you LORD for exposing the traffickers & for rescuing these beautiful & amazing children. Please grant them your divine healing and may you surround them with warring angels to protect them & May your favor grace their lives. Please bless the lives of the unborn children who were conceived in chaos but have a divine purpose – May they walk into it. Amen.
Father, we are overjoyed for the rescue of these children. We thank you for the tireless efforts of law enforcement, and pray for an end to human trafficking in America, and that its perpetrators will be brought to justice. Pray for the salvation of the judges that attempt to interfere with the work that you use Trump for.
After working for a period of time with rescued victims in NC I know what a great need there is for volunteers to nurture those trafficked back to wholesome. Many try to get involve, but fail from lack of emotional strength to hear the horrifying stories and work through the unimaginable trauma these victims have lived.
So…
Heavenly Father,
Give many the desire to come alongside this cause.
Give them hearts of great faith, knowing You alone will equip them with every good thing for the mission of great restoration needed here.
When we are weak, You are strong🦅
Bless the volunteers with Your strength, Your wisdom and Your never ceasing love and care.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen
I pray in total agreement with your prayer, Grace! In Jesus mighty Name Amen!
Thank you Lord for saving those children! We pray more children held captive be saved. Please restore and redeem them. Bring justice and repentance to those involved in human trafficking.
In some Walmart stores, they post names and photos of people missing. Many of them are missing. I usually pray for them right there in the store.
An even bigger rescue of children working in mines in India happened recently by recuse teams from Set Free Ministries located in Greenville, SC. These children had been taken from their parents due to fact they couldn’t pay back small loans. Total rescue was over 4.900 children. Set Free will now take care of them until they can be united with parents. Pray for ministry to raise funds to car for them.
Father I thank you for the rescue of these children and continue to pray that all those who are held will be rescued. I ask that You Lord would give strength to those who rescue and touch their lives, give them wisdom and discernment. Lord uncover hidden places, organizations, places where children are enslaved, bless those who rescue them and raise up places where these who are rescued can be ministered to by Your remnant. Equip Your church Lord to pray and take care of these children, teens, young adults, any who are caught in these trafficking situations in Jesus Name Amen
Father, we thank You for this rescue! We do pray for spirit, soul and body healing for each one! May the babies live and be well cared for and know Your saving power in their lives! Father, we ask You for all the children to be rescued from these traffickers! Expose the traffickers to Your truth and forgiveness. Bring them to Your light . For every child know that You will bring healing to them by Your marvelous grace and love. Heal them from the horrific abuse that they took, the abandonment that came upon them, false hoods, draw them to Your salvation and eternal life! Jesus we plead Your blood over them. Minister to them bring people into to their lives that show and shower Your love over them, in Jesus name is
Praise God! Every state that children are being trafficked will be exposed and those responsible will be bought to justice. Sexual perversion of all kinds are strongly condemned. Sexual assaulting a child is never justifiable. “But whoever causes one of those little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea” Matthew 18:6
Praise the Lord! I pray for each of these children that God will heal them and get rid of the horrible memory of what they have been through and one day they will let God use them to bring about good.
Thank you Abba Father for your faithfulness and answering prayers!
Thank you for saving these children and I’m thankful in advance for all that you will continue to do. I pray for a supernatural covering for all affiliated in this rescue and futures rescues. Protect, guide and bless everyone, especially these children father God. If you intervened and rescued me, how much more will you do for all the children out there praying and hoping for rescue. We praise, love and bless you Lord. In the Mighy, Matchless, Majestic name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ AMEN
I am so thankful for this news and to see through God’s hand and prayer, He has begun to save our children. This has grieved my heart so and without the Lord’s intervention can not be done. Let us continue in prayer for our children the next generation to lead our country. To God be all GLORY AND HONOR.
Praise be to YOU, YHVH!! Yeshua, You came to set the captive free – primarily spiritually, but also in the natural. Thank You for setting these little ones free from the bondage of human trafficking. Now please reveal Yourself to them as the One who can set them from the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical bondage from the damage the enemy has done to them. Walk them through the saving, healing, delivering and restoring process as You shower them with love – atoning and cleansing. Bless those rescuers, and those involved in nurturing them back to health and wholeness!!
This is indeed good news. I pray that this is but a beginning, that more of the children abducted by human traffickers will be recovered, and that ALL human traffickers will be caught and brought to justice. Thank You Jesus.
God is so good. Thanks to all who participated in this amazing rescue. Those poor children. My heart aches for all of them. Lord Jesus cover them and all the rescuers w/your blood of protection. Satan at it best folks. But our Lord is much greater. Thanks be to God.

Glory to God for answered prayer! As a resident of Florida we come to agreement with the statement traffickers will not be safe here. A great declaration for every state and country that IFA represents. Satan we say you have no authority here in any way, shape or form. We render you powerless and no weapon formed against our regions will prosper.! The Waymaker WILL have His way in Jesus Name! Amen
I pray for healing and wellness for each rescued child in his or her spirit, soul and body. I pray for divine revelation of more missing people.
Thank you Father for rescuing the precious children and giving the rescuers supernatural insight to do their jobs. In Jesus’s name amen 🙏
