Washington, D.C., February 7, 2025: The U.S. State Department has warned that human traffickers are the main beneficiaries of mass migration, exploiting migrants for profit through smuggling and forced labor. Officials highlighted the increasing risks migrants face, including human rights abuses, as criminal networks capitalize on their desperation.
Authorities called for stronger border security and international cooperation to combat trafficking. They also urged migrants to use legal immigration channels to avoid falling victim to exploitation. The U.S. government is working with global partners to dismantle trafficking operations and assist affected individuals.
