At the start of his second term as President, one of Donald Trump’s first actions was to announce executive orders focused on mass detention and deportation of immigrants in the United States (U.S), putting migrant communities – who face some of the highest rates in the US of labor abuse, forced labor, and other forms of trafficking – at an even greater risk.

At the same time, the closure of the CPB One app, which helped facilitate safe and legal migration, has left asylum seekers with few options, increasing their vulnerability to forms of human trafficking, including forced labor. What's more, right-wing lobbying – including Project 2025 – has been pushing against life-saving T-Visas for human trafficking survivors.

Surveying data from the US Human Trafficking Hotline, Polaris found that 76 percent of human trafficking survivors in the agriculture sector were immigrants. At the heart of our campaign is a commitment to defending the rights of migrant and refugee communities and combating the exploitation they often face across the U.S. economy. Our movement seeks to raise awareness, build solidarity, and advocate for policy and system change, ending not only labor and sexual exploitation, but the systemic injustice and corporate violence enabling them. We believe in a future where migrant workers are valued, treated with dignity, and can fully participate in the economy without fear of discrimination, wage theft, or violence.
