Event Details

In a letter dated November 9, 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) writes to Chairman John Conyers, Jr. of the House Committee on the Judiciary to express significant concerns with H.R. 3887, the "William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2007." The DOJ argues the bill would undermine its authority, negatively impact victim protection and prosecution of traffickers, and unconstitutionally intrude on Executive authority, specifically citing issues with Sections 102 and 103 of the proposed legislation.
