Trafficking survivors need legal immigration status to rebuild their lives. @USCIS just announced that the processing time for T visas—special visas for #traffickingsurvivors—has increased to 25 months, up from 19 months in January. #Traffickingvictims are living in limbo & fear.

There are no magic fixes, but Section 307 of the US Tariff Act delivers results. Import bans blocking forced-labor tainted goods from the US market have led to more than $62 million in back wages & fees returned to workers. Read our @openDemocracy oped: opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-…

"Import bans shut the door on goods made with forced labor. They punish exploiters, provide remedies to workers, and force real change." @HTLegalCenter's Human Rights & Trade Policy Director Anasuya Syam & President Martina Vandenberg in @openDemocracy: opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-…

JBS, the world’s biggest meatpacker, was fined billions for bribing politicians less than a decade ago. Now, it's trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Some credit President Trump’s era of deal-making for the company’s success.

"Whether a defendant tried to benefit is what matters, not whether, due to external factors, they failed to benefit," said @CorpAcctLab's Charity Ryerson. Attempted trafficking still causes harm to workers in global supply chains & must be prosecuted.@BLaw news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-…

We're still celebrating the good news of dropping #ChildLabor but very aware that so much work remains to be done.
New @ilo and @UNICEF report finds 138 million children are still in child labour — 54 million in hazardous work.
We must act now to protect their futures: ow.ly/rKpo50W7EU0 #EndChildLabour

En el centro de detención de Haina, a inmigrantes haitianos les quitan sus teléfonos y les cobran RD$300 para devolvérselos.
Esto es extorsión, robo y violencia institucional. ¡Exigimos justicia y el fin de estos abusos!

Eliminating legal representation for unaccompanied minors leaves children vulnerable to #humantrafficking, #sextrafficking, & #forcedlabor. @HTLegalCenter calls on @HHSGov to restore Congressionally-mandated funding for these 26,000 children immediately. marketplace.org/story/2025/0…

100+ civil society organizations are calling on @USDOL to restore $500M in funding to combat forced labor & child labor. These funds are essential to protect children and to end #humantrafficking. These cuts put lives at risk. #ForcedLabor #ChildLabor stopchildlabor.org/civil-soc…

The Trump Admin plans to end all ILAB grants.
This will be devastating to efforts combating human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor.
This cuts mean that more vulnerable people will be forced to work in dangerous, exploitative conditions. bit.ly/4iKRnpn

Eliminating programs will:
🚨 Leave workers & children vulnerable to forced labor
🚨 Silence efforts to improve working conditions peacefully
🚨 Ignore root causes of migration: poverty wages & unsafe work
🚨 Enable a race to the bottom, lowering labor standards everywhere

Today’s verdict ordering @greenpeaceusa @Greenpeace to pay $660 million to @EnergyTransfer is unacceptable and sets a dangerous precedent. #Fossilfuel corporations cannot and will not sue activists into submission. #ImWithGreenpeace
