Daines: It's Time for Democrats to Put Politics Aside and Do What's Right for the Victims of Human Trafficking

Statement

Senator Steve Daines today called on Senate Democrats to put politics aside and end their obstruction of the bipartisan Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act.

"Montanans know firsthand the immeasurable damage that human trafficking has inflicted on our communities, our schools, and most of all, the victims of these horrific crimes. We also know the importance of coming together to support the victims of this modern-day slavery," Daines stated. "That's why I can't understand why some Senate Democrats are obstructing this bipartisan, broadly supported bill. It's unconscionable that anyone would rather place political games above abolishing human trafficking and securing long-overdue justice for thousands of victims. It's time for Democrats to put politics aside and do what's right for the victims of human trafficking."
