The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken up U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) Special Victims Unit's (SVU) challenge and is hitting back in the area of child prostitution. Well, not child, but teenage, prostitution.  Essentially emancipated or runaway teenagers who don't like their parents.

FBI Snares 281 Pimps, Rescues 168 Children In Nationwide Sex-Trafficking Sting
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) rescued 168 child victims of sex-trafficking and arrested 281 suspected pimps in its annual countrywide sex-trafficking crackdown last week.
Operation Cross Country was carried out in 106 U.S. cities, according to an official FBI press release. This year's effort marks the eighth time the FBI has carried out its national child sex-trafficking sting; since 2003, approximately 3,600 sexually exploited minors have been recovered as part of the agency's Innocence Lost program.
"These are not children living in some faraway place, far from everyday life," FBI Director James Comey said in a press conference Monday. "These are our children. On our streets. Our truck stops. Our motels. These are America's children."
The FBI has established 70 Child Exploitation Task Forces (CETFs) nationwide as part of its efforts to reduce violent crime against children. FBI Special Agent Steve Vienneau said these task forces coordinate with all levels of law enforcement: local, state, and federal.
 
So, the FBI has task forces that deal with the exploitation of teenage prostitutes.  Why does ICE SVU then target this same crime?  ICE SVU duplicates the work of the FBI because it does not want to enforce immigration laws, plain and simple.
