Five Victims Rescued, One Arrested in Mississippi Human Trafficking Operation

Operation 806, led by Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's Human Trafficking Task Force, resulted in the arrest of one individual and the rescue of five human trafficking victims in Southaven. The operation, which took place on May 1, 2025, involved collaboration between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, as well as support from the Center for Violence Prevention, which provided services and treatment to the recovered victims. Operation 806 is part of a broader initiative, with the task force conducting 58 multi-jurisdictional operations to date, resulting in 341 victims rescued and 99 arrests across Mississippi. Attorney General Fitch emphasized the ongoing commitment to removing traffickers from the streets and supporting victims' recovery, crediting the success to robust partnerships among law enforcement agencies. The operation also demonstrates the state's continuing efforts to train officers and disrupt human trafficking networks. Further engagement with specialized task forces is encouraged for law enforcement agencies across Mississippi.
