The arrests "[bring] to light the intent of laws designed to assist those who have been thought to be trafficked," Cristine Sardina, the director of sex worker advocacy group Desiree Alliance told Newsweek in an email. "The guise of law enforcement infiltrating the establishment for human and sex trafficking is of little merit when those who were under surveillance for a long period of time were arrested and not offered services under the TVPRA or any [federal or state] resources related to trafficking. Who benefits? Certainly not the women who were arrested under the pretext of rescue."
