For decades, the United States government has maintained a fiction: that it is fighting a "war" against human trafficking. The reality on the ground tells a darker story. Through a calculated web of jurisdictional "black holes" and restrictive commercial laws, the American legal system has been engineered to facilitate the intentional enslavement of its female citizens.

We are no longer calling for "awareness." We are announcing a class-action legal assault against the agencies that have turned state lines into a "Get Out of Jail Free" card for traffickers, and safe route to murder any woman or child.

I. The Jurisdictional Trap: The "Federal Black Hole"

The most effective tool in a trafficker's arsenal isn't a weapon—it’s a map. The moment a victim is moved across a state line, she enters a legal "no-man’s land" created by design.

When a survivor reaches a local police precinct, she is met with a scripted betrayal: "We can’t take a report. This is a federal matter." By instructing local law enforcement to refuse reports involving interstate transport, the government ensures:

• The Crime is Never Documented: If there is no report, there is no crime.
• The Victim is Legally Invisible: Without a local file, she is barred from emergency services and legal protections.
• The FBI as the "Federal Eraser": The FBI claims sole jurisdiction but operates as a void where reports go to die. They prioritize "large-scale" corporate rings, leaving thousands of women to be abused by individual captors because their suffering is "below the federal pay grade."

The Proof: The Seven-Year Silence Our lead plaintiff escaped her traffickers in 2019. For seven years, she has utilized every official channel. She has contacted the FBI directly; she has shouted her testimony across public platforms. The Result: Not one single FBI agent has contacted her. Not one report has been filed. This is not a failure of resources; it is a criminal refusal to act.

II. The Logistical Cage: The "Second Card" Death Sentence

The system has a secondary trap waiting at the hotel front desk. In every state, hotels are permitted to demand a guest's personal credit card for "incidentals," even if the room is fully prepaid by a third party or non-profit.

For a woman fleeing with nothing, this is a logistical cage:

1. If she uses her card: Her abuser, who monitors her digital footprint, finds her location in minutes.
2. If she has no card: She is turned back onto the street.

Our Demand: We call for laws in every state immediately abolishing the requirement for a second credit card when a room and incidentals are covered. A woman’s right to life and safety must outweigh a corporation's minor credit risk.

III. The Hotline Fraud: A "Lifeline" to Nowhere

The government points to the National Human Trafficking Hotline as a success story. Our investigation reveals it is a data-collection dead end.

• Zero Accountability: Funded by federal tax dollars, it collects data on victims but zero data on prosecution outcomes.
• The Statistical Shield: The Hotline serves as a buffer to keep victims away from actual investigators, laundering the screams of victims into harmless annual reports.

IV. The Statement of Claim: Legal Demands

We are filing suit against the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the FBI on the following grounds:

1. The "Open Door" Mandate: A federal injunction requiring all law enforcement to investigate reports regardless of state lines. Refusal to take a report must be prosecuted as Obstruction of Justice.
2. The Mandamus Act: We are suing to compel federal officers to perform their duty. The FBI cannot claim "sole jurisdiction" and then refuse to allow the victim to report the crime.
3. 13th Amendment Violations: Holding the government liable for creating the "logistical vacuum" that allows modern-day slavery to flourish on American soil.
4. Equal Protection: A challenge under the 14th Amendment against "Selective Non-Enforcement" policies.

Conclusion: The Silence Ends Now

The U.S. government has spent billions on anti-trafficking PR while training its officers to look the other way the moment a car crosses a border. This is not a glitch; it is a feature.

We are moving from the streets to the courtrooms. The government has been the trafficker’s silent partner for too long.

We will see you in court.
