Biden admin pledges to crack down on human trafficking as migrant crisis roils border

The Biden administration is touting its efforts to crack down on human trafficking, as it marks a month dedicated to combating the global crime — but also amid an ongoing border crisis that critics say is fueling the criminal activity.

"During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we reaffirm our commitment to protect and empower survivors of all forms of human trafficking, to prosecute traffickers, and to bring an end to human trafficking in the United States and around the world," he said.
