at 2:10 John Morton of ICE points out "key to long term success...outreach with foreign governments". ICE is at the forefront of human trafficking, and even if they focus more on smuggling from mexico for the time being, they do also frequently prosecute via work with international law enforcement, through "Operation Predator". From the ICE website, option to receive their near daily updates of who they've nabbed and how, via "Operation Predator".
at 1:46 Deborah Sanders points out tendancy for victims to be prosecuted: many countries (see CIA worldfactbook, search child trafficking) DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE human trafficking as a crime, and approach the issue they deny as a problem of prostitution instead, even prosecuting children as prostitutes, with no repercussions for the adults who traffick and/or pimp them.
at 1:23 Alice Hill points out first responders don't recognize signs, and that makes sense, and she says this without a tone of criticism. It makes sense for borders & customs orgs to be the ACTUAL "first responders". State and local law enforcement are not first responders on the issue of human trafficking, if smugglers were able to get across our borders FIRST.
