The leader of an anti-human trafficking advocacy group is pushing Congress to establish specialized human trafficking courts to tackle and prosecute more cases.

“We’re talking about a $52 billion industry of buying and selling, predominantly women and children inside this country—American citizens,” said Jaco Booyens, who runs Jaco Booyens Ministries.
