Summary

This document is a Department of Justice (DOJ) analysis of proposed anti-trafficking legislation, marked as page 2 of a collection from 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT'. The DOJ raises concerns about several sections, recommending amendments to ensure U.S. international standards mirror domestic policies that prioritize both sex and labor trafficking. The department also advocates for greater flexibility in partnering with aid organizations and in allowing the Secretary of State to evaluate foreign governments' anti-trafficking efforts on a case-by-case basis, especially concerning cases with lenient sentences for cooperating defendants.
