https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/11/18/twin-cities-ice-employee-among-16-arrested-in-child-sex-trafficking-stingA Twin Cities-based employee of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is among 16 men arrested on suspicion of soliciting a minor following a sting operation by police in suburban Minneapolis.Alexander Steven Back, 41, is among four people charged so far with trying to pay a 17-year-old girl for sex. Back could also face federal charges, Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said at a news conference on Tuesday.Authorities said that they’ve submitted evidence against the other 12 men to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for possible charges.According to the criminal complaint filed Friday in Hennepin County, Back, of Robbinsdale, responded to a fake online advertisement “offering prostitution services.”In a text message to Back on Nov. 13, an undercover officer posing as a 17-year-old girl named Bella wrote “U ok if I’m a lil younger than my ad says … just wanna be honest.”“Sure,” Back allegedly replied.“K cause I am 17 and one guy got hella mad at me,” the officer replied.
After stating for a second time that she was 17, “Bella” gave Back an address in Bloomington, where police arrested him and seized his phone.Hodges said that his department partnered on “Operation Creep” with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and police from Eden Prairie, Roseville and Richfield, as well as MSP Airport Police. Back is a civilian ICE employee, Hodges said.Also charged are Sasenarine Ghamandy, 52, of Prior Lake, Emmanuel Lopez, 29, of Bloomington, and Nicholas Daniel Schaitberger, 36, of Minneapolis.In addition to a count of solicitation, Schaitberger is also charged with possessing more than 10 grams of methamphetamine.The operation this month in Bloomington is similar to a sting in March in which 14 men were arrested, including former Republican state Sen. Justin Eichorn.Eichorn, 41, who resigned from the Minnesota Legislature after his arrest, was charged federally along with several other men arrested in the earlier sting and has pleaded not guilty.The federal charge of attempted enticement of a minor carries a 10-year mandatory minimum prison sentence while the equivalent state charge carries a five-year maximum sentence. Eichorn has argued that the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office has singled him out because he was a public official, but federal prosecutors refute that allegation.
Of the others arrested in the March sting operation, court records show that at least three have pleaded guilty to state charges and two others are expected to enter guilty pleas in Hennepin County Court in the coming weeks.Those sentenced include Anthony Steven Lee Mais, 31, of New Richmond, Wis., and Forest Leandrew McElroy, 47, of Burnsville, who each received three years of probation. While they pleaded guilty to a felony, their convictions will be recorded as misdemeanors if they stay out of trouble while on probation.By contrast, Alex Misael Huerta-Sanchez, who is the only defendant to have pleaded guilty to federal charges, is expected to be sentenced to the statutory minimum of 10 years in prison. Huerta-Sanchez, who is not a U.S. citizen, also faces deportation to Mexico after he completes his sentence, according to his plea agreement.If you encounter a child or adult who may be trafficked, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office says to call 911 or law enforcement if anyone is in immediate danger. Otherwise, contact the appropriate Safe Harbor regional navigator. You can also call the National Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “HELP” to Polaris Project’s BeFree Textline at 233733.
>>1477666Qualified immunity. Trump will bail him out

>>1477748In rainbows>I might be wrong>*
>>1477666as long as its in a leftist county no one cares, those people would've grown up becoming karens anyways
>ICE-IS are not only terrorists but are pedos>>1477666>666The real demons being those that claim to be Christains? Lucifer is based.
>>1477811They don't care either way. It's become blatantly obvious at this point that the whole GoP sees pedophilia as a feature not a bug. >>1477851Almost everyone who claims to be Christian, especially the American fundamentalists and evangelicals are not actually followers of Christ in any way. Even a glance at how much money and wealth they hoard is a clear sign. To them Jesus is a baseball bat with which to bash those they deem lesser, they don't read or care about his actual teachings.
>>1477880not sure why it should concern you, considering that you're not american
If it was consensual who cares?
Trump's not sending his best and I don't assume any are good people.
>>1477676Absolute immunity you mean.
>>1477882I know that would confuse you. But as a non-American, I was raised with morals. So I care about the well-being of those other than myself, even if they are unfortunately stuck in a country steeped in corruption where a cabal of pedophiles holds the highest office. I know as an American, ethics, decency and principles are foreign concepts you so your inability to understand isn't surprising.
>>1477884The law.
>>1477891AOC is 16 in many states?
>>1477894Not Minnesota. What he did was illegal. I guess that doesn't matter if you agree with him politically though. Big shock.
>>1477898I'm just copying what leftists practice. Fight fire with fire, shill.
>>1477890there's not a single american that cares about what you think
>>1477899>being against pedophile government thugs trying to hook up with underage girls makes me a leftist shill. Shalom, rabbi.
>>1477902Welll duh, it's a nation hillbillies, never taught proper morals and manners who revel in being as violent and crass as possible. No one expects any of you to care about anything.
>>1477903>She was 17 years 364 days 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds old you sick fuckLol you leftist shills are so pathetic
>>1477904And yet you obsess over us daily. Get a life
>>1477890as another fellow non-american, my god are you fucking naive, you do realize the epstein list is probably majority democrats hence why they didn't publish it either right? but go ahead and elbow up some more cunt you just got fucking mr burns elected just to stick it to the orange man
>>1477915I get it, U dindu nudffin>>1477916It's a daily clown show and now more than ever Americans are at each other's throats. It's fun to come here and poke while waiting for the next bonkers shoe to drop.
>>1477929What makes you think I have a better opinion of an American Democrat than an American Republican? They look like Coke and Pepsi to me, slightly different branding for the same garbage. Reminder that besides Trump, the president who deported by far the most people was Obama. He was just astute enough to do it quietly.
>>1477939you're right I don't know i can just project, admittedly i'm a bit biased because leftists are much more obnoxious and hypocritical.Funny thing is I'm the type that would go fuck the americans they're privileged nepo pissbabies and the absolute worst tourists to any country comparable to china locust and korean karens. But i had 4 hours of sleep a headache and jumped to conclusions so ur right myb
>>1477973(me)>>1477939but also anyone who self-aggrandizes themselves> I was raised with morals. So I care about the well-being of those other than myself,is a fucking hypocrite and a narcissist. and now i remember why i was pissed off at your comment to begin with your goddamn narcissistic behavior you're probably a hypocrite irl I hope you get eaten by a goose
>>1477973must be rough keeping up American hours in India
>>1477885Have you seen recruitment? They are not taking cops or ex-cops. It's just like the original TSA recruitment - they are taking anyone who walks in off the street regardless of record or training. Big bonuses for signing. Almost half cannot even pass the minimum physical requirements. Then they get a license to kill anonymously.Best job ever, if you ask me. Who wouldn't sign up for that?
>>1477979One journalist got a desk job with them despite being openly anti-Trump and anti-ICE. She just applied and they signed her up. They even tried to deny it only for her to immediately post that she was STILL registered in their system at that moment.They literally do no background checks.
>>1477937No one knows or cares what happens on your country because it's irrelevant to the world.
>>1477979Not only that, they cannot read or write, have violent criminal records, failed drug tests. This isn't about law enforcement, it's about trump forming the largest para military force in the world to rely on them when he stages his next coup.
>>1477979>Then they get a license to kill anonymously.the one person whose been killed was found to be a domestic terrorist that spent months stalking ice agents and impeding arrests of actual criminals and rapistsI'm sorry but i'm not exactly going into panic mode over 1 karen who the world's probably better off without being gone.If they had a license to murder anonymously there'd be alot more cases then this.>>1477990I hope they rape you and your family to death too so leftists stop breeding if you're that paranoid about it.
>>1477748>The Bends > OK Computer3edgy5me
>>1477991>thread about right wing statutory rapists>esl shill is threatening rape upon swathes of humanitywhat a strange board /news/ is
>>1477974To review, he seemed confused why I would care that so many of the people in upper positions of power in the US, especially the sitting president are pedophiles since I'm not American myself. To me it's absurd not to care, but indeed I was raised with morals that a lot of Americans find confusing ir upsetting. I'm not surprised by your reaction.
>>1478237that's nice but no one in america cares what a turdie thinks or believes
>>1478246That dude sure seemed upset when I pointed out how amoral and uncivilized Americans are. I obviously don't expect any of you to care, your country defines itself by it's love of violence and sexual deviance and your distain for the civilized world is well noted.
>>1478250and there's nothing you can do about it
>>1478252Shalom, rabbi.
What is it with Republicunts wanting to rape underage kids all the time?
Joe Biden is a Republican????
funny way of spelling 'Donald Trump', 1478310
Ashley Biden's diary???
Assley Babshit's diary???
>>1478310no, he was a true blue racist democrat... and his slaves ate that shit up even when he called them too stupid to get an id
