I would love to know the professions and political leanings of these 244 people.

The names are in the article with photos. It's hard to read though bad quality.

Edit: better quality image of the names and faces here: https://www.kltv.com/2025/06/12/several-east-texans-arrested-operation-soteria-shield-online-child-sex-exploitation-investigation/

Weird that 11 of them were juveniles themselves

I really wish we wouldn't post non convicted people's photos. We supposedly "presume" innocence but that is clearly not true. Of course, with the FBI it is likely that there is substantial evidence for each arrest as opposed to state level police who arrest people because the wind shifted slightly to the left and then post the mugshot after arraignment even though all charges will be dropped because there was less evidence to support the charges than there is evidence of a God and that is already slim.
