U.S. State Department Trafficking Tip Lines: https://www.state.gov/domestic-trafficking-hotlines/ DOD (CTIP): https://ctip.defense.gov/Domestic and DOD inspector general, 800-424-9098 DOJ: https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en UNODC: https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/human-trafficking/track4tip/contact-us.html Today we have a special rebroadcast of the Jordan Harbinger Show. Jordan interviews Paul Hutchinson about the film "Sound of Freedom" and the human trafficking trade. In the full show, Jordan threads the needle to disclaim the interview from any political bents and conspiracy theories that cloud the topic and just wanted to expose the trade and damage it causes.  As we work overseas on foreign policy issues, I suspect our soldiers, diplomats, development officers, and field agents will cross paths with this growing illicit trade. To help the team, in the show notes, I'll add the Department of State, DOD and UN contacts who can help you respond.
