A Florida sting operation just proved Trump was right about Biden’s illegal alien predators

Nov 17, 2025

President Trump warned Americans for years that Biden's open border was letting dangerous criminals flood into the country.

Democrats and their media allies called it racist fear-mongering.

But a Florida sting operation just proved Trump was right about Biden’s illegal alien predators.

Law enforcement nabs predators from around the globe

Local, state, and federal law enforcement just wrapped up a multi-agency operation in Martin County, Florida that targeted child predators lurking online.

Officers posed as 14-year-old children to catch adults traveling to meet minors for sex.

Six suspects showed up expecting to exploit children and instead got arrested on felony charges.

But here's what the media won't tell you about who got caught.

Several of the arrested predators were in the United States illegally.

The suspects came from Guatemala, Russia, Canada, and Egypt — some on visas, some with no legal status at all.

19th Judicial Circuit State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl made crystal clear what's going to happen to these predators.

"I don't care if they're in this country legally or illegally. Before we ship them back to Guatemala or wherever it is that they come from, they're going to be guests at the Florida Department of Corrections for a significant period of time," Bakkedahl stated.¹

One suspect groomed a 15-year-old boy online before the boy's mother tipped off police.

Several more traveled to the county thinking they'd meet children they'd been chatting with on social media.

All of them walked into a trap set by law enforcement working to protect Florida's kids.

Florida sends a message child predators can't ignore

Bakkedahl delivered a stark warning to anyone thinking about targeting children in his jurisdiction.

"My message is to the guy that's sitting out behind that screen right now who's thinking about getting online and thinking about luring a kid to their home, or traveling to see a kid, if you do it, don't do it in this circuit. That's my message to them," he said.²

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier emphasized that Florida won't tolerate these crimes.

"We are a rule of law, tough on crime state," Uthmeier stated. "Every day, it seems we're doing something like this, which… it's sad and scary that these guys are out there, but I'm glad to live in a state where we go out there and we find them and we get them behind bars for as long as possible."³

The Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children division played a key role in the operation.

Assistant Statewide Prosecutor Josh Dockus highlighted the constant danger children face online through social media apps and video games.

"Luckily, this time, they were talking to undercover officers," Dockus said. "But that's not every time. These operations ensure that predators are caught and held accountable."⁴

Authorities are still pursuing additional suspects in multiple states.

This Martin County operation is just the latest in a pattern that keeps exposing Biden's border catastrophe.

Earlier this year, a Marion County operation arrested 48 child predators — six were foreign nationals with ICE detainers from places like Jamaica, El Salvador, Dubai, and India.⁵

A Polk County sting in September nabbed 246 suspects in a human trafficking operation — 46 were illegal immigrants.⁶

And in a statewide Florida operation called "Operation Dirtbag" last month, ICE and Florida law enforcement arrested 230 criminal illegal aliens in just 10 days — 150 of them were sexual predators.⁷

Every single time Florida runs one of these operations, they catch illegal immigrants preying on children.

That's not a coincidence and it's not fear-mongering.

It's the direct result of Biden throwing open the border for four years and letting anyone walk across — including child predators from countries that don't screen who they send to America.

Trump campaigned on the promise that illegal immigration brings crime, including crimes against children.

The media spent years calling that racist.

Florida law enforcement just keeps proving Trump was telling the truth all along.
