(CNN) Five endangered and missing teenagers were recovered in New Orleans during a multiagency effort dubbed "Operation Boo Dat 2021" led by the US Marshals Service.
The annual operation, which took place from mid-October to December 24, also led to the arrest of 30 individuals, including 17 who were suspected of felony sex offender registration violations, the US Marshals Service said in a press release.
One of the suspects arrested was a Tier 3 sex offender who was wanted for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl in an abandoned home in New Orleans, US Marshals said. The individual, who was also convicted of attempting to rape a woman in a public library bathroom, will have to register as a sex offender for life, according to the release.
Another suspect was a man wanted on a warrant for alleged aggravated sexual assault on a 14-year-old in San Patricio County, Texas.
"During Operation Boo Dat over one hundred sex offender compliance checks were also attempted or completed in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes," US Marshals said.

So not the case this time but whenever I see U.S. Marshals release info like this, I have to double check their credibility. Just because that one time when they reported to work with state police finding 123 “missing” kids as possible victims of sex trafficking. But then state police were criticized for not acting sooner and they had to correct the Marshalls and mentioned that actually 119 were found safe with their guardians.

Are they running out of operation names?
