Well…the other day the WH quietly dropped a similar EO, but rahter than seize property and assets for those who deal in human trafficking, this has to do seizing assets of those who have/are funding, aiding, training, consulting, etc. the Iranian regime.

 

Executive Order on Blocking Property of Certain Persons with Respect to the Conventional Arms Activities of Iran (Sep 21, 2020).

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-certain-persons-respect-conventional-arms-activities-iran/

 

In this EO, it operates the same way as the human trafficking EO, except it highlights these activities, individual types, and entities:

 

(i) any person determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to engage in any activity that materially contributes to the supply, sale, or transfer, directly or indirectly, to or from Iran, or for the use in or benefit of Iran, of arms or related materiel, including spare parts;

 

(ii) any person determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to provide to Iran any technical training, financial resources or services, advice, other services, or assistance related to the supply, sale, transfer, manufacture, maintenance, or use of arms and related materiel described in subsection (a)(i) of this section;

 

(iii) any person determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to have engaged, or attempted to engage, in any activity that materially contributes to, or poses a risk of materially contributing to, the proliferation of arms or related materiel or items intended for military end-uses or military end-users, including any efforts to manufacture, acquire, possess, develop, transport, transfer, or use such items, by the Government of Iran (including persons owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of the Government of Iran) or paramilitary organizations financially or militarily supported by the Government of Iran;

 

(iv) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or

 

(v) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.

 

So right now we have EOs that will allow the US government to seize assets and property immediately of folks who are/have been engaged in human trafficking/rights abuses and aiding the Iranian regime.

 

Another interesting note is there are parts of these EOs that essentially say the US government DOES NOT have to give prior notice to the perpetrators because that would utlimately lead to funds and assets disappearing into the ether. Check it:

 

"ec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12957, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of this order."

 

So immediately upon indictment, all assets and funds of those engaged in/have been engaged in human trafficking, human rights abuses, and aiding the Iranian regime will be seized with no prior warning.
