Editor’s note: Some readers might wonder why police haven’t released the name of the business. While officials didn’t say, it’s possible they’re keeping that detail quiet for investigative reasons — perhaps to avoid tipping off others connected to similar operations, or because the property owner wasn’t directly involved. It could also be a matter of discretion in lower-level vice cases, where identifying the exact location might unfairly impact nearby legitimate businesses. And since federal immigration agents became involved, coordination with other agencies may also influence what details are made public at this stage.
