What was said
"There's been a lot of study in particular estimates of $150 billion to $175 billion of illicit proceeds generated on human trafficking alone. Unfortunately, the cartels are already here and they're in our neighborhoods. They're operating in our communities."
Moran revealed human trafficking generates between $150-175 billion in illicit proceeds annually, with cartels operating extensively in U.S. communities. Despite this massive scale, law enforcement resources remain drastically underfunded compared to drug enforcement, leaving Internet Crimes Against Children task forces with backlogs of thousands of cases.
