US Marshals announced earlier this week that a task force comprised of local, state, and federal law enforcement groups located and recovered 122 missing and endangered Florida children.

The two-week operation, named "Home for the Holidays," saw children rescued from Central Florida and metro areas, including 57 children rescued in the Tampa Bay area, 14 rescued in Orlando, 22 rescued in Jacksonville, and 29 rescued in Fort Myers. The effort also rescued children in nine other states.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said the rescue efforts were "one of the single largest child-rescue operations in US history," and tops the scale and success of Operation Dragon Eye, which was conducted earlier this year and saw 60 critically missing children rescued.

"These kids, ranging in age from 17 down to just 2 years old, many have been through the unthinkable," he said during a press conference. "They've been trafficked. They've been exploited. They've been abused."

He added, "This operation highlights the strength and diligence of Florida's Law Enforcement. I am deeply grateful for everyone that made Operation Home for the Holidays a massive success. Many of these kids have been victimized in unspeakable ways. We will prosecute their abusers to the fullest extent of the law."

"Child predators, stay out of Florida, you are not welcome here," Uthmeier said.

United States Marshal for the Middle District of Florida Bill Berger said the FBI, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), and 11 sheriff's offices were all involved. He explained to reporters on Monday that finding, identifying, and recovering the children is no easy task.

"What allows our Middle Florida-based child recovery initiatives to stand out is the emphasis placed on what happens after. We know these children will have needs once we find them. It only makes sense to build these operations alongside like-minded partners from across the child welfare space," Berger said.

According to a press release from the FDLE office, many of the children experienced various levels of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or exposure to other criminal activity.

One young pregnant female received pre-natal care for the first time, two brothers were provided initial care for substance dependency and are being evaluated for treatment options, and a toddler located in Mexico is now being cared for under a plan coordinated by US and Mexican authorities, WFLA-TV reports. All of the recovered children are receiving medical care and mental health counseling.

"We try to understand why they are running, what kind of placement do they want for themselves, where do they see themselves long term," said Tyra Martin-Greene with the Children's Home Network.

Meanwhile, the children disclosed information that led to six felony arrests, ranging from child neglect, custodial interference, narcotics possession, sexual assault, terroristic threats, and endangerment.

"This operation reflects the power of strong partnerships and a shared commitment under Governor DeSantis' leadership to protect Florida's children," said FDLE Deputy Commissioner Vaden Pollard. "By gathering critical intelligence, pursuing every lead, and working together with our federal, state, and local partners, we achieved a unified mission and delivered meaningful results—122 children and youth are now safe, and that is a victory for our entire state."

"As I said back in July, this is why we do the job," Uthmeier said during a press conference. "Here in Florida, everybody now knows, protecting our kids, keeping them safe, preventing them from being extorted and endangered. That's what it's all about."
