The U.S. Marshals Service has been operating a special task force in recent weeks to rescue young victims of human trafficking in the Tampa Bay area. Children’s Network of Hillsborough County has assisted the task force, earning recognition from DCF Secretary Taylor Hatch for our collaboration and success. CNHC was previously a key partner with the Marshals in 2024 during Operation Seminole Saber, which recovered 27 endangered children.
