#TIPReport

The Government of the United States fully meets the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. The government

continued to demonstrate serious and sustained efforts during the reporting period; therefore the United States remained on Tier

These efforts included increasing the number of investigations, increasing the amount of funding for victim services, and increasing

enforcement of the prohibition of imports made wholly or in part by forced labor.

Although the government meets the minimum

standards, it prosecuted fewer cases and secured convictions against fewer traffickers, issued fewer victims trafficking-specific

immigration benefits, and did not adequately screen vulnerable populations for human trafficking indicators.

Anti-trafficking advocates reported a continued lack of sustained effort to address labor trafficking, increased obstacles for foreign nationals to secure victim protections, and a systemic inability to prevent traffickers from using employment-based and other nonimmigrant visa programs.

TRAFFICKING PROFILE

As reported over the past five years, human traffickers exploit domestic and foreign national victims in the United States, and

traffickers exploit victims from the United States abroad.

Human trafficking cases have been reported in all 50 states and the District

of Columbia. Traffickers compel victims to engage in commercial sex and to work in both legal and illicit industries and sectors, including in hospitality, traveling sales crews, agriculture, janitorial services, construction, landscaping, restaurants, factories, care

for persons with disabilities, salon services, massage parlors, retail, fairs and carnivals, peddling and begging, drug smuggling

and distribution, religious institutions, child care, and domestic work.

Individuals who entered the United States with and without legal status have been identified as trafficking victims. Victims

originate from almost every region of the world; the top three countries of origin of federally identified victims in FY 2019 were

the United States, Mexico, and Honduras.

Individuals in the United States vulnerable to human trafficking include: children in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, including foster care; runaway and homeless youth; unaccompanied foreign national children without lawful immigration status; individuals

seeking asylum; American Indians and Alaska Natives, particularly women and girls; individuals with substance use issues; migrant

laborers, including undocumented workers and participants in visa programs for temporary workers; foreign national domestic

workers in diplomatic households; persons with limited English proficiency; persons with disabilities; LGBTI individuals, and victims of intimate partner violence or domestic violence.

Advocates reported a growing recognition of trauma bonding in human trafficking cases, which occurs when a trafficker uses rewards and punishments in cycles of abuse to foster a powerful emotional connection with the victim.
