SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A 16-year-old girl and 11 women were recovered during a two-day human trafficking operation in San Diego County that also resulted in the arrests of five men and a woman on a variety of charges, authorities announced. Operation Home for the Holidays was conducted Monday and Tuesday and aimed at recovering juvenile victims and involved detectives from the San Diego County Sheriff s Department working undercover as sex buyers looking for online ads of suspected juveniles, according to a statement from the department.
Deputies arrested five men for suspected prostitution-related violations, including one who was in possession of a gun at the time of his arrest. A woman was arrested for trafficking of a minor, the department said. It was unclear if the minor recovered was the one being trafficked by the woman. I m proud of the great work being done by the San Diego County Human Trafficking Task Force, Sheriff Bill Gore said. The cooperation between the sheriff s department and our local, state and federal law enforcement partners is sending a clear message that human trafficking will not be tolerated in San Diego County.

A woman who was struck in the face with a projectile during a police brutality protest in La Mesa in San Diego s East County in late May is suing the officer who fired the round.
Leslie Furcron, 59, has filed a lawsuit accusing La Mesa Police Detective Eric Knudson and the city of La Mesa of battery, emotional distress, and violation of Furcron s civil rights following the day-long protest on May 30, which descended into chaos outside the police department s headquarters.
Protesters gathered throughout the day to call for changes to policing following the death of George Floyd underneath the knee of a Minneapolis police officer. The demonstration, one of several organized that week, centered on La Mesa because it had also been the site of a separate incident involving a La Mesa police officer, who made a controversial arrest of a Black man at a nearby trolley platform.
