Yesterday, FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi unveiled “Operation Restoration Justice.” This initiative led to the rescue of 205 children and the arrest of 115 individuals involved in child sex crimes.
Patel conveyed a strong message: “If you harm our children, there will be no safe haven for you. We will pursue you everywhere.”
When asked about this initiative, Sarah Gonzalez reached out to Alex Rosen, the founder of Predator Poachers, whose role is to expose and confront alleged predators. He mentioned, “The DOJ’s efforts are promising, but there’s still a long way to go.”
Gonzalez expressed appreciation for the Trump administration’s serious stance on addressing pedophilia, contrasting it with the Biden administration, which, she noted, has diverted attention from child sex crimes to January 6-related cases.
Many believe that the Trump administration has significantly eclipsed the Biden administration’s lackluster efforts. Still, there’s a need for more expertise, which is where Rosen’s team steps in. Generally, things are going well.
“Local law enforcement usually collaborates well with us,” Rosen stated, though there are complications from time to time.
In March, Rosen himself faced legal issues when he was arrested and charged with felony harassment.

In October 2024, his group identified a predator, Joshua Teague, in Branson, Missouri, and reported him to local authorities. To everyone’s dismay, he was released within 24 hours, only to contact his decoy again months later with alarming messages.
Rosen recounted, “When I approached him at Steak ‘N Shake where he worked, I labeled him a pedophile.” This was meant for others to hear.
He stressed, “There was no real threat. I wasn’t endangering anyone… yet I was charged with felony harassment,” which he deemed a collateral consequence of highlighting local law enforcement’s ineptitude.
Fortunately, Teague is now in custody at the Tuny County Jail in Branson, Missouri.
