In a surprising development, Federal and local Minnesota law enforcement officials are announcing they've arrested 23 people in two states in an alleged Somali prostitution ring. Twenty-three people were arrested in Minnesota and Tennessee. The investigation was led by St. Paul Police and members of the Task Force on Human Trafficking, which includes federal, state and local law enforcement. The case first came to light in September of 2010, after investigators asked a Ramsey County judge for permission to search the cell phone records of a 15-year-old girl. Authorities believe the girl was lured into a large prostitution ring controlled by Somali gangs.
