Whether through s*x trafficking or forced labor, millions of people across the world fall victim to human trafficking every year.

Unfortunately, the United States is not immune to this widespread and pervasive atrocity. The U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline was contacted 48,258 times and reported 11,494 cases of human trafficking in 2019. In 2020, the Hotline was contacted over 51,600 times, with over 10,500 reported cases of human trafficking. This form of modern-day slavery is criminal and has no place in our country. January has been designated as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month to increase public awareness about these heinous crimes.

The Department of Homeland Security is on the frontlines in the fight to stop these inhumane activities. Coordinating the DHS-wide effort is the Center for Countering Human Trafficking. Led by the Homeland Security Investigations arm of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the CCHT comprises 16 offices and components, including the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This unified coordination center strives to advance counter-human trafficking law enforcement operations, protect victims and enhance prevention efforts by aligning DHS’ capabilities and expertise.
