The scourge
of sex trafficking in America
Human sex
trafficking is an epidemic. According to the
International Labor Organization, there may be nearly 25
million victims of forced labor across the world. That plight
isn’t confined to developing countries: Since 2007, the
National Human Trafficking Hotline has received reports of
22,191 sex trafficking cases in the United States.
The Trump
Administration is taking the fight to human traffickers.
Shortly after taking office, President Trump signed Executive
Order 13773, “Enforcing Federal Law with Respect to
Transnational Criminal Organizations and Preventing
International Trafficking,” to boost the government’s
response. Last month, Ivanka Trump led a bipartisan roundtable
at the White House to discuss pending legislation.
Yesterday,
President Trump took further action. The President
signed the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex
Trafficking Act of 2017 (FOSTA), which gives both law
enforcement officials and victims new tools to fight sex
trafficking. Among these tools, FOSTA makes it easier to seek
legal action against any websites that enable these crimes.

more about this new law to fight sex trafficking in the United
States.
A memorial
just steps from the White House
Each day, 116
Americans die from an opioids overdose. In addition to
“hard drugs” such as heroin and illicitly manufactured
fentanyl, opioids include a range of prescription medications
that roughly a quarter of patients reportedly misuse in some
way.
President Trump
wants the Nation to hear these victims’ stories.
Beginning today, for one week, the engravings of 22,000 people
who died from prescription opioid addiction in 2015 will be on
exhibit as part of a temporary memorial just outside the White
House. The project, led by the nonprofit National Safety
Council, is intended to show Americans the depth and human toll
of the crisis.
The memorial is free and
open to the public from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
Just
steps from the White House, a memorial to victims of America’s
drug crisis.
