This document is a Department of Justice (DOJ) memorandum arguing against proposed legislative changes that would expand federal jurisdiction over prostitution, pimping, and adult sex tourism. The DOJ contends that such an expansion is unnecessary, would strain federal resources, and would divert law enforcement from its core anti-trafficking mission, particularly the prosecution of child sex tourism. The document analyzes specific sections of a bill, consistently opposing the federalization of crimes it believes are better handled at the state and local level.
