A coordinated 12-day effort led by New Mexico law enforcement agencies, dubbed "Operation Disruption," has resulted in the rescue of 91 human trafficking survivors and 16 arrests in New Mexico, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced.

"Operation Disruption is a clear demonstration of our commitment to saving lives and protecting the most vulnerable among us," Lujan Grisham said. "Thanks to the tireless efforts of our law enforcement partners, we have made our communities safer and sent a strong message to those who seek to exploit others."
