Operation Dragon Eye, led by the U.S. Marshals Service in Florida, accomplished something unprecedented. In a collaborative two-week initiative with 20 federal, state, and local agencies, they successfully recovered 60 critically missing children and arrested eight alleged predators on charges including human trafficking and child endangerment.
Attorney General James Uthmeier declared it the largest child rescue operation in U.S. history. The rescued children, ages 9 to 17, received medical care and support, proving the power of united efforts to shield the vulnerable.
