This document is a Department of Justice (DOJ) analysis of proposed legislative changes related to human trafficking. The DOJ opposes certain sections, such as naming specific hotlines (Section 110) and granting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sole authority over 'extreme hardship' determinations (Section 201). While deferring to DHS on some T-visa eligibility changes, the DOJ argues for its own inclusion in key decisions and provides a more accurate description of the nature of threats made by traffickers against victims.
