MODERATORS
In Europe it happens rarely, and you can often recognise them. In my city they operate only in or near train stations and move a lot to avoid police. They also often use the same sign and after a few days of seeing them all around they will all just have disappeared.
Not sure how the operation works, but these people that are on the street for it often can’t turn to other places for help because of their immigration status or past crimes.
