4 US Soldiers Arrested In Human Trafficking, Bought By Human Traffickers / Drug Cartells

[easyt65]

Not only is this a story about the ILLEGAL effort to bring illegals into the country, not only is it a story about the actions of US military personnel being bought by Drug cartels and bringing disgrace to the nation whose uniform they wear, but it is about the threat to our national security.

"More U.S. Army soldiers have been arrested for allegedly using their uniforms and military status during human smuggling efforts. The soldiers have reportedly been corrupted by Mexican human smuggling organizations or drug cartels.

By August 2015, various other U.S. soldiers from Fort Hood and Fort Bliss had been arrested and were eventually convicted for their role in the human smuggling operation."

Sadly these military members have been arrested and will face conviction for engaging in Human Trafficking, but their commander and Chief who has been engaging in the same illegal activity continues to face no punishment.

16 year sex trafficking ring busted...

US charges seven over US-Mexico sex trafficking ring
Wednesday 2nd November, 2016: U.S. authorities have charged seven men with sex trafficking after a crackdown against a gang operating across the U.S.-Mexico border for at least 16 years, the U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday.

Six suspected members of a sex trafficking organisation known as STO were arrested last week and a seventh man remains at large, said U.S. Attorney General Lorreta Lynch and Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

From at least 2000, STO members used romantic promises, physical and sexual violence, threats, lies and coercion to make women and girls work in prostitution in both Mexico and the United States, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Bharara accused the defendants of raping, beating, torturing, and enslaving their victims. Fourteen victims of the STO were identified in the 21-count indictment unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Four of the men charged were apprehended by Mexican authorities, and two were arrested in the United States.

UN chief sacks South Sudan peacekeeping commander
Wednesday 2nd November, 2016: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday (Nov 1) sacked the commander of the peacekeeping force in South Sudan following a damning report showing failure to protect civilians during violence earlier this year in Juba.

The report from a UN special investigation found that a lack of leadership in the UN mission culminated in a "chaotic and ineffective response" during the heavy fighting in the capital from Jul 8 to 11. Peacekeepers abandoned their posts and failed to respond to pleas for help from aid workers under attack in a nearby hotel, according to a summary of the report. The UN mission known as UNMISS has 16,000 troops deployed in South Sudan, which has been at war since December 2013. "The special investigation found that UNMISS did not respond effectively to the violence due to an overall lack of leadership, preparedness and integration among the various components of the mission," said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric. Chinese peacekeepers abandoned their positions at least twice and Nepalese peacekeepers failed to stop looting inside the UN compound, the inquiry found. The blue helmets from China, Ethiopia, Nepal and India received "multiple and sometimes conflicting orders."

Ban said he was "deeply distressed by these findings" and "alarmed by the serious shortcomings identified by the special investigation." The UN chief "has asked for the immediate replacement of the force commander," said Dujarric, adding that other measures would follow. Lieutenant General Johnson Mogoa Kimani Ondieki of Kenya had been the force commander since May. UN mission chief Ellen Margrethe Loj of Denmark steps down at the end of November after more than two years in the job. The fierce fighting in Juba involved helicopter gunships and tanks pitting President Salva Kiir's government forces against those loyal to ex-rebel chief Riek Machar. Machar fled the capital during the violence, which derailed international efforts to form a unity government and restore peace to South Sudan.

NO RESPONSE TO SCREAMS

About a dozen aid workers and UN staff housed at the Terrain compound were attacked by South Sudanese soldiers on Jul 11, but the peacekeepers, just 1.2 kilometres away, failed to come to their aid. During the attack at the Terrain compound, "civilians were subjected to and witnessed gross human rights violations, including murder, intimidation, sexual violence and acts amounting to torture perpetrated by armed government soldiers," said the report. The investigation led by retired Dutch general Patrick Cammaert was unable to verify allegations that peacekeepers did nothing to help women who were raped near the UN base during the heavy fighting.

But in a later incident on Sep 2, a woman was assaulted near the entrance to a UN compound "in plain sight" of the peacekeepers, the report said. "Despite the woman's screams, they did not react" and other UN staff intervened, it added. After the crisis, peacekeepers "continued to display a risk-averse posture unsuited to protecting civilians from sexual violence" and other attacks, said the report. UNMISS soldiers refused to conduct foot patrols near UN bases and instead would "peer out from the tiny windows of armored personnel carriers, an approach ill-suited to detecting perpetrators of sexual violence and engaging with communities to provide a sense of security."
