Yearlong NJ Sting Exposes Chilling Slave Operation
In a chilling revelation of modern-day slavery unfolding in our own backyard, law enforcement has rescued 15 women trapped inside a brutal human trafficking ring operating out of suburban homes in Trenton and Camden, New Jersey. This horrifying operation, exposed after a yearlong investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office, was masterminded not by shadowy foreign cartels but by two women—Vilma De-Leon Bracamonte and Maria Soledad Xec Cham—who coldly lured victims with false promises of work, only to imprison them and sell them for sex. These women weren’t hidden in seedy motels, but held behind closed doors on quiet streets like Elmer and Genesee, their basic freedoms stolen and their identities reduced to a sick business transaction disguised through fake plumbing and barbershop advertisements.

The word cigar, therefore, derives from the Mayan word for tobacco. What did US President John F. Kennedy reportedly do immediately before imposing the Cuban trade embargo that, among other things, prohibits US residents from purchasing Cuban cigars?
