Issue Position: Human Trafficking

Issue Position

Human Trafficking. Slavery hasn't gone away, and this horror is not confined to far-away places. By most estimates, as many as 100,000 children are victims of human trafficking right here in the United States, and roughly 15,000 foreign nationals are trafficked into the country each year. As Attorney General, I will advocate for legislation making human trafficking a stand-alone felony offense, adding those engaging in commercial sex with a minor to the sex offender registry, extending asset forfeiture laws to human trafficking, and ensuring victim compensation, and will establish a Human Trafficking Task Force to assist prosecutors, produce educational materials, and review policy on an ongoing basis.
