Last year, President Trump issued an Executive Order which directed his Administration to crack down on transnational criminal organizations that use human trafficking.

The Dept of Justice secured convictions against nearly 500 defendants in human trafficking and the FBI dismantled 42 criminal enterprises engaged in child sex trafficking.

The Dept of Homeland Security initiated over 800 human trafficking cases, resulting in 1,500 arrests, 530 convictions, & over 500 victims identified.

The Dept of Justice anti trafficking grantees reported assisting more than 8,000 survivors between July 2016 & June 2017 which exceeded the past record.

The United States is also taking the lead to end this crime internationally, being largest donor of the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery.

Also, Trump Admin is pushing back against authoritarian regimes to eliminate forced labor, sex trafficking,& the exploitation of children.

Human trafficking is very common under regimes lacking basic civil protections. So the Trump Admin is limiting the number of Tier 3 countries in the TIP Report that will receive national security waivers under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.

Reports of human trafficking come from every State.& there are an estimated 24.9 million victims of human trafficking worldwide.

Drug traffickers in Central and South America are increasingly engaging in human trafficking.

In 2012, U.S. Congress reported over 300,000 were trafficked in the U.S.

In 2018,  the number tripled.
