DOJ Removes `International Sex Trafficking of Minors' From Areas of Concern

The Justice Department has made changes to what it considers are areas of
concern.

The DOJ made recent modifications to its website under the section that
listed the department's subject areas of concern regarding ``Child Sex
Trafficking'."

"International Sex Trafficking of Minors," "Domestic Sex Trafficking of
Minors," and "Child Victims of Prostitution" have all been removed.

The section was added during the Trump Administration and used to
highlight how international sex trafficking is a major problem in the
United States. "Recovered victims originate from all over the world
including Southeast Asia, Central America, South America, Western Europe"
and more. It also noted foreign victims are easily targeted by traffickers
who convince them a better life awaits them in the states, only to be
subject to a life controlled by their captors or sold into prostitution.

2022 global law enforcement data from the DOJ showed more than 90,354
victims of trafficking were identified in 2021 and 109,216 were identified
in 2020. It's unclear what prompted the move - as the DOJ hands out
millions of dollars in funding to combat human trafficking every year.

It came amid Biden's border crisis as traffickers continue to smuggle
children into the U.S. As of July 5th, 2023 Health and Human Services
(HHS) said they had at least 6,127 unaccompanied children in its care. In
FY 2022 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) referred 128,904
unaccompanied children to the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

The move also came not long after HHS whistleblower, Tara Lee Roda,
accused the U.S. government of being the "middleman" in a child
trafficking operation. She testified before the House Judiciary
Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement in April.

"I thought I was going to help place children in loving homes," Roda
testified. "Instead, I discovered that children are being trafficked
through a sophisticated network that begins with recruiting in their
home country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when ORR delivers a
child to a sponsor - some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and
members of Transnational Criminal Organizations. Some sponsors view
children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income - this
is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking."

The DOJ's ironic timing also comes as Hollywood and the left have sounded
the alarm on a new film that recently came to theaters called Sound of
Freedom. The movie is based on a true story that follows a Homeland
Security agent who saves a pair of children from being trafficked in South
America.

Media outlets have denounced the film as just another right wing
conspiracy. The movie, however, grossed nearly $15 million during its
opening weekend.
