Department of Justice objects to trafficking legislation provisions and raises constitutional concerns

Summary

Department of Justice objects to trafficking legislation provisions and raises constitutional concerns The passage outlines DOJ objections to specific provisions of a proposed anti‑trafficking bill, citing vague language, separation‑of‑powers issues, and data‑privacy concerns. While it identifies potential legal challenges and inter‑agency conflicts, it does not name individuals, financial transactions, or foreign actors, limiting its investigative value. Key insights: DOJ objects to a new criterion requiring the US to evaluate its own anti‑trafficking efforts.; Section 107(a) could breach separation‑of‑powers doctrine (Chadha, Bowsher precedents).; Proposed amendment would give congressional committees authority to judge the Secretary of State’s evidence, raising constitutional issues.
