Dear Friend,
June has been a very active month here at the State Attorney’s Office. While many places slowed down during the summer, we geared up as our community welcomed hundreds of thousands of soccer fans for FIFA World Cup 2026. As we move through a busy and impactful month, I want to share several important highlights from our ongoing efforts to protect our community.
June marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Month, a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard some of our most vulnerable residents. My Elder and Vulnerable Adult (EVA) Unit, Community Outreach Division (COD), and I participated in events throughout the county providing information to our seniors and caretakers. I want to thank all who continue to advocate, educate, and intervene on behalf of our elders.
This month, I met with Attorney General James Uthmeier and business community leaders to strengthen our united stance against Human Trafficking. A press conference followed the discussion, where we highlighted our powerful partnership with other agencies and local businesses and how we are working together to save victims and hold predators accountable. Collaboration remains one of our strongest tools and these conversations help reinforce the partnerships needed to confront this crime head‑on.
Miami is buzzing with excitement over the World Cup—and our Human Trafficking Task Force is working tirelessly to protect our community and rescue victims. In addition to conducting undercover operations four times a week, our team is on the ground at the FIFA Fan Fest, distributing information, and engaging directly with the public on how to recognize the signs of human trafficking and report concerns to our hotline. We need your help—your vigilance makes a difference. If you see something, say something.
As the summer heat intensifies, please remember to stay safe, stay hydrated, and look out for one another.
Thank you and God Bless,
Sincerely,
