In a significant breakthrough, Long Beach authorities have arrested one individual and rescued three teenagers in a coordinated human trafficking investigation. The operation, which unfolded over several weeks, highlights the ongoing battle against modern-day slavery and exploitation.
Key Details of the Operation
The investigation began after local law enforcement received multiple tips about suspicious activities in the area. Undercover officers worked tirelessly to gather evidence, leading to the arrest of a suspected trafficker. The rescued teens, aged between 15 and 17, were found in what officials described as "deplorable conditions."

Missouri man on FBI’s ‘Most Wanted’ list arrested in Lake County
Fields was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in May 2023, the agency said.
According to the release, Fields, 60, was federally indicted in St. Louis on Dec. 7, 2023, on one count of child sex trafficking. The indictment accuses Fields, II, of knowingly attempting to recruit, entice, provide, patronize, and solicit a minor into engaging in a commercial sex act from about January 2013 until June 2017.
The FBI said that Fields is also facing charges including statutory rape, statutory sodomy, child molestation, and witness tampering in Franklin County Circuit Court in Missouri. A warrant for his arrest was issued by that court after Fields II vacated his home and failed to show up for a March 3, 2022, hearing, court records show.
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – The FBI said that Donald Eugene Fields, II was taken into custody after a routine traffic stop by Lady Lake police.

Donald Trump Issues Major Threat to Nearly 90,000 IRS Agents
January 26, 2025
Should Trump really follow through on his threat and let go of thousands of IRS agents - or transfer them to other roles - during his presidency, the agency could see its capacity to collect taxes and ensure that individuals and corporations comply with tax laws significantly reduced. That could lead to less enforcement, higher rates of tax evasion, and potentiallyless revenue for the federal government.
While nobody really likes to pay taxes, the U.S. government relies on tax revenues to fund programs that are crucial to everyday Americans, including Social Security, defense, infrastructure, and health care. Cutting a large portion of the IRS workforce could impact the government's ability to collect taxes efficiently, which may lead to a budget shortfall or an increase in the national deficit.
What 'People' Are Saying
Political commentator Brian Krassenstein wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "To me it sounds like he really wants this country to go broke. FACTS: For every $1 spent on enforcement, the IRS typically collects between $4 and $7 in revenue."
"In 2021, the IRS employed roughly 80,000 people (not all of whom are enforcement agents) and collected around $4.1 trillion in total revenue. This averages about $51.25 million per employee in total collections."
