and it's led to some of the unit's most depressing cases.
Cortes says he has seen women seven months pregnant, forced to stand and prostitute themselves for 10 to 12 hours on the side of the road with no access to sanitation.
The worse case Cortes has ever seen involved a girl found near death on the street. Investigators learned she'd been held in a room for two years, and had contracted hepatitis from constant, unprotected sex.
Her discovery led to the bust of an Albanian prostitution ring but it's the victims that drive Cortes and his undercover team.
They work all hours, sacrifice their home lives, and doggedly pursue evidence in long-running investigations.
It's a dedication that bonds the men and women together as they handle some of the toughest cases in organized crime.
With the traffickers quick to change their methods after each bust, the undercover officers have many more cases ahead of them, blending in, winning trust and securing convictions.
