An investigation by Chris Hansen and the Blount County Sheriff's Office led to the arrest of five suspects, including three illegal immigrants, who attempted to solicit sex from a minor in Alabama.
Chris Hansen, the host of TruBlu's "Takedown," conducted a predator sting last month in collaboration with the Blount County Sheriff's Office in Alabama. The operation resulted in the arrest of five suspects, three of whom were in the United States illegally, for allegedly soliciting a minor for sex.
Posing as an undercover "aunt" offering to sell her niece for sex in online chats, Hansen and the sheriff's office apprehended the suspects. Hansen describes how the suspects used translator apps to express their explicit intentions with the child.

"Each used translator apps to have graphic [English] conversations spelling out the sexual acts they wanted to have with the child," Hansen told Fox News Digital. "They worked in construction and landscaping, often employed by homeowners and unsuspecting families."
Among the suspects were Garson Chilol and Henry Lopez, both illegal immigrants from Guatemala and Honduras, respectively. Despite claiming to have limited funds for the transaction, authorities discovered $1,500 in their wallets upon their arrest.

The sting operation highlighted the dangers associated with illegal immigration. Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon expressed concern about the need to enhance border security measures to prevent such individuals from entering the country.
"We have to do a much better job of scrutinizing who we allow to come into our country, because we're in a place right now where the open border process is affecting the entire nation," Moon said.

Moon further emphasized that law enforcement agencies nationwide are witnessing an increase in criminal activity linked to illegal immigration, both violent and nonviolent.
"Any law enforcement head across this county in any state is dealing with both violent and nonviolent criminal activity that is tied to illegal immigration," he said.

The predator sting in Alabama serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks posed by illegal immigration. It underscores the urgent need for the United States to implement more stringent border security measures, including stronger vetting procedures and increased resources to prevent such individuals from entering and exploiting the country.
Furthermore, it highlights the importance of public cooperation and awareness in combating the dangers associated with illegal immigration. Citizens are urged to report any suspicious activity or individuals they believe may be involved in criminal or illegal behavior.
