This document, page 5 of a submission to House Oversight, is a Department of Justice (DOJ) analysis of proposed legislative changes regarding human trafficking. The DOJ opposes several provisions, such as extending a victim's 'continued presence' during a civil suit and removing the Attorney General's role in T-visa eligibility. The DOJ also recommends specific textual changes to avoid creating new legal liabilities for the government and to consolidate authority under the Attorney General rather than a new task force.
