Alabama’s ‘Sound of Freedom’: Former U.S. Navy SEAL Jared Hudson works to save human trafficking victims

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Jared Hudson has spent a great deal of time targeting human traffickers and rescuing victims from their captors. The movie “Sound of Freedom” has put a spotlight on the issue of human trafficking, and Hudson has a unique perspective on the subject of the film.

The movie is based on the real story of Tim Ballard, who worked for the Department of Homeland Security until he saw a greater need and started Operation Underground Railroad (OUR). The organization works to dismantle child trafficking rings.

Hudson worked with OUR and saw firsthand the work being done overseas.

“That is what you see in ‘Sound of Freedom’ and ‘Taken’ is people are kidnapped, people are stolen,” said Hudson.

However, what he saw led him to start his own organization to rescue human trafficking victims at home. That is how the Covenant Rescue Group was formed in Alabama.

With the help of his wife, Hudson gathered experts to fight human trafficking. They work to bring hope and justice to victims.

Already this year, Covenant Rescue Group (CRG) has made 34 arrests within 34 jurisdictions. However, just as in the movie “Sound of Freedom,” Hudson has realized issues the government presents to those trying to do the right thing.

“One problem with the government is all the red tape,” he said. “The government is the true definition of arrogance because they claim to do things they can’t do. We think the government is going to fix our problem but where we live, we are the people, we are the king of this nation. It’s not your rights, everybody talks about rights, it’s your liberty. And with liberty comes responsibility. If you want to fix something, fix it yourself because either the government doesn’t have the bandwidth, they’re lying to you or they are not able to do what they say.”

Hudson has not let the challenges stop him and his group from fighting to protect people and arrest those involved in human trafficking. Throughout his work, he has identified key issues that play a part in making human trafficking possible. He also has suggestions on how to protect your family.
