Human Trafficking, Forced Labor in American Agriculture

Cartel organizations have integrated human trafficking into their primary business models, often using the same smugglers for people and fentanyl. Many migrant workers in the U.S. service and agricultural industries are effectively indentured servants, paying off debts to traffickers while their families are held as collateral. The film "Sound of Freedom" and its lead Jim Caviezel have brought renewed public attention to the scale of modern slavery.
