Summary
This Department of Justice (DOJ) document outlines the department's opposition to several proposed legislative amendments concerning human trafficking, specifically sections 214 and 221 of an unspecified bill. The DOJ argues that the changes are redundant, create legally problematic strict liability offenses without an affirmative defense, and improperly federalize crimes like pandering and pimping that are historically handled at the state level. The DOJ asserts that its existing authority under laws like the Mann Act is sufficient for prosecuting federal trafficking crimes.
