In a shocking outcome, the California Assembly Committee on public safety blocked a bill that would increase the charges for human trafficking.
The bill would have categorized sex trafficking of minors as a serious felony— in line with murder and rape— in the Democrat-run state of California.
However, the six Democrats on the committee voted against the bill, while all Republicans voted for the measure that would protect children from falling victim to violent sex crimes.
The vote comes as local leaders warn California officials that sex trafficking operations are "out of control," adding that it has been surging since January when the state decriminalized loitering with the intent to commit prostitution in the name of transgender rights.
In a letter, Shane Harris, the president of a California-based civil rights organization, called on Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) to take action against human trafficking that is putting "children's lives at stake."
However, the Democratic mayor continues to ignore the ongoing, dangerous situation and instead focuses on woke issues such as making the state a sanctuary for transgender people.
During the hearing, survivors of human trafficking gave riveting testimony, condemning progressive Democrats who don't take human trafficking seriously.
