More than a dozen men have been arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say. According to Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges, officers started the three-day sting on Nov. 5. They used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex. In all, police arrested 16 men during the investigation, which Hodges called “Operation Creep.” Hodges said most of the men came from within the Twin Cities area. One of the men, he said, is an employee for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who could face federal charges. Hodges said the ICE employee works as an auditor.
“When he was arrested, he said, ‘I’m ICE, boys,’” Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. “Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up.” Another suspect is a staffer at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. WCCO has reached out to both the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to confirm the men’s roles and whether they’re still employed. Not all of the men have been charged. Hodges added that he knew “ICE took custody of a few of them but we don’t have a way to verify someone’s status here at the Bloomington Police Department.” He added that sting operations have become more difficult in recent years because of advanced technology. “We need to make sure that we pass some laws that make it so these companies can’t continue to have these people on their platforms,” Hodges said.
Police also shared a drone video of a suspect arriving at a hotel with a bag containing cocaine, methamphetamine and eight firearms. Another suspect allegedly told the decoy he was showing up with a gun. Hodges shared a video of officers tackling that man to the floor. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and police departments from Eden Prairie, Richfield and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport assisted with the operation, Hodges said. Several months ago, police conducted a similar sting that led to the arrest of ex-State Sen. Justin Eichorn, who is currently facing federal solicitation charges.

Lies.
Far out. The campaign to manufacture consent for de-anonymizing the net is fucking relentless.
“Same team, same team”
Fucking dork honestly thought this…
I understood the title but everything totally fell apart after.
Incomprehensible. Anyone read it from beginning to end

Actually the restriction on technology is what has made these things harder. sesta fosta etc.

eight!?! that is so many!! in a bag?!? to fuck a 17 year old?!!? why do you bring a bag of guns to hook up. 8 vibrators would be too many.
this is wholly untrue or an op beyond what’s disclosed or…?
Maybe he was also a gun runner or some shit and the guns were just in his car for later business
I remember seeing a bodycam video of some cops stopping an uber driver, letting the passenger go, and then finding like 20 goddamn guns nestled in every crevice of the car
If the bag contained eight guns as they imply then yeah I have no idea what the fuck could lead a person do that
Octopus body guard
I imagine this needs some kind of content warning
Can I ask something edgy and you promise to not get mad?
yes, you're cool. Just fuckin say it
If you’re going to solicit a 17 year old, why not just solicit an 18 year old instead and risk dramatically less legal trouble?

It’s very possible he wanted someone youger than 17 if anything. And this is just as close as he could get.
While this is true it still seems ridiculous. Sure they “wanted younger” because they’re gross creeps, but the 17 year old is still 17, who is going to look and act basically identically to an 18 yo.
More likely it’s a combination of (1) much younger women/girls normally don’t give these turds the time of day, so they simply go for it, and (2) the illegality lends the whole thing some “thrill”, which is more what they’re into.
Anyway I think they should probably be fed into a food processor.
If I wanted a hot wheels but I got Legos instead it’s chill I guess. But if the toy bricks are also fucking mega blocks it’s like
. We’re just not even in the realm of what I wanted anymore.
Duh! I see, tytyty

Tattoo it on his forehead and put him in gen pop.
love his logic, ‘‘settle down boys, i’m ICE, i’m allowed to commit CSA’’
Another one tried it to get out of drunk driving with their kids in the truck
Cumtown bit-esque
sex-trafficking stings about to be made illegal
my biggest worry is that this whole big beautiful bubba ICE funding thing is using fascism as a cover to hide the fact that they’re building a Super Epstein Island.
