This document is a Department of Justice (DOJ) analysis and opposition to Section 214 of a proposed bill concerning trafficking victims, likely from around 2008. The DOJ argues the bill's grant authorizations are redundant, create conflicts of interest with NGOs, improperly involve the Department of State in domestic issues, and wrongly extend victim benefits to prostitutes under the Mann Act who do not meet the legal definition of a victim unless under 18.
