New York City police took action against sex trafficking on Thursday, targeting six establishments allegedly engaged in prostitution in Queens. Prostitution is against the law in New York.
NYPD officers were seen on video cracking down on one establishment at 95th Street and Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, with NYC Mayor Eric Adams leading the way.
"I was proud to join @NYPD115Pct tonight on an important quality of life enforcement operation to shut down six establishments that were breaking the law and perpetuating prostitution," Adams said in a post on X.
Adams spoke to reporters after the raid and said the conditions he saw inside were "inhumane."
He said the number of single beds inside made it clear that sex trafficking was taking place, which was bringing down the quality of life in the community.
"Sex trafficking is real, and these horrid conditions just makes it clear why the New York City Police Department — we’re not just gonna sit idly by and pretend that it does not happen," Adams said. "This is not just some fast-food restaurant."
Adams gave credit to Councilman Francisco Moya, who represents the community on the City Council.
NYPD Chief John Chell also thanked Moya for "pushing the buttons and getting this going," as sex trafficking has been going on for years in the community.
"For this community, this is what they want to see. The councilman represents this community," Chell said. "Sex trafficking is terrible. The city’s not going to tolerate it."
The chief also said the department had plans to hit other locations, vowing not to stop until it was under control.

“Sex trafficking is terrible. The city’s not going to tolerate it.”
“What do they think this is - Washington DC??..”
Whaat, they didn’t pay their protection money to the “party.”
It is only illegal until the democrats make it mandatory
Guess they didn’t make their usual campaign donations. Probably had to pay the Cartels first.
Shouldn't that be "undocumented migrant brothels", or "refugee brothels"?
"For this community, this is what they want to see. The councilman represents this community," Chell said. "Sex trafficking is terrible. The city’s not going to tolerate it."
They're not going to tolerate it NOW? What a coincidence that after allowing it for YEARS, THIS year, they are suddenly going to be the heroes and stop it.
Democrats are despicable excuses for human beings. They only virtue signal during election years.
SPIT!!!
Leading to . . . who knew but continued to let the Epstein Sex Trafficking continue:
- U.S. Senators - esp. from New York
- U.S. Representatives - esp. from New York
- U.S. attorneys
- U.S. judges, NY State judges
More likely could only speak some Eastern European language or central Asian.
The cops stopped a semi here loaded with Asian girls. It was horrifying from what they told me.
That’s what pervert Biden is importing through his open border.
Yeah, interesting that any hint of the ethnicity of the brothel was omitted from the article. The only clue was below. Moya is a Spanish surname.
Picking on the poor whores while they should be busting shoplifters, carjackers and other assorted criminals.
-—shoplifters, carjackers and other assorted criminals.-——
are Black and permitted in the progressive society of New York
The Biden Crime Family not getting their 10% ?
👍my first thought “How many are ‘migrants’”?
Legal brothels are a different matter.
Illegals need housing!
Francisco Moya currently represents the 21st Council District
A lifelong resident of Corona, Queens, Francisco began organizing in his community at the age of 15, when he and a group of concerned neighbors started the Corona Gardens Neighborhood Association, organizing members of the community and working to improve quality of life.
Gosh, he's been "improving the quality of life"; in Corona, all of his life. Wow.
Must be a "Paradise" by now.
Is there such a thing as a “legal” whorehouse in New York?
I’d wager that the whorehouse proprietors who make their regular payoffs are OK?
Legal, even?
Prostitution is against the law in New York.

Is that New York City, or New York Congress?
