Talk:Contemporary slavery in the United States

Untitled
Trafficking Hubs citation is broken. The History section could be expanded with updated statistics from federal agencies. ICE made 1400 arrests in FY2015 Since this article is centered on the US, a rundown of key laws (ex: Trafficking Victims Protection Act) and of the federal agencies involved (FBI, ICE, CBP...) would be useful, as well as any noteworthy programs. Most recently, FBI Operation Cross Country X resulted in the recovery of 82 juveniles and is an example of coordination of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The Conclusion reads like an opinion piece and seems unnecessary. "According to the US Government, every year there’s between 14,500 and 17,500 people are brought into the US strictly for slavery purposes" requires a citation, as well as the year of the study and the federal agencies involved. Finally, there doesn't seem to be particular reason for both this article and [] to exist. Most of the information here could be merged into the other. Murat39e (talk) 05:42, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

A Glaring Omission
Every person in jail or prison in the United States can be legally used as slave labor at any time. Frequently they are. There are 2.3 million of them.

It's in the 13th amendment and it's been written up extensively. This article needs basically a total rewrite if it is to properly discuss the actual modern practice of slavery in the United States. 216.106.94.206 (talk) 06:00, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
