H.R. 1370: Department of Homeland Security Blue Campaign Authorization Act of 2017
Through the DHS Blue Campaign, the Secretary is authorized to provide guidance and training
on programs to help identify instances of trafficking; systematic and routine information sharing among the components of the Department and the National Network of Fusion Centers; techniques to identify victims of trafficking along the U.S. border; techniques for Transportation Security Administration personnel to identify victims of trafficking and serve as a liaison and resource for aviation workers and travelers; utilizing resources to promote public
awareness of trafficking; and leveraging partnerships to raise public awareness of trafficking. The Secretary is also authorized to engage in additional activities necessary to operate the Blue Campaign. This section also includes a definition of human trafficking. Additionally, this section directs the Secretary to ensure that, not later than 1 year after enactment, the information technology systems used for human trafficking-related information are integrated with each other. The Secretary shall also report to the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on the status and effectiveness of the Blue Campaign. Last, the bill authorizes $819,000 to carry out the section and amends the table of contents of the Homeland Security Act with a clerical amendment.

Human Trafficking (H 5300, S 73)PASSED
In February the ACLU and the Urban Justice Center testified before the House (H 5300) and Senate (S 73) Judiciary Committee on a bill that has some laudable provisions designed to address the scourge of human trafficking, but that also had a number of problematic provisions. The bill provides immunity to trafficked minors only if they state in their defense that they were a trafficking victim – a statement many victims are not ready to make when they are arrested. Other parts of the legislation penalize behavior that was not criminal at the time it was conducted. However, the ACLU succeeded in getting removed a provision that would have turned soliciting prostitution from a misdemeanor into a felony, imposing extremely harsh penalties on individuals engaged in consensual sexual activity. This legislation was passed in the House and the Senate in June and signed by the Governor.
Don’t Let Congress Censor the Internet- Petition
There’s a new bill in Congress that would threaten your right to free expression online. If that weren’t enough, it could also put small Internet businesses in danger of catastrophic litigation.
Don’t let its name fool you: the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) wouldn’t help punish sex traffickers. What it would do is expose the Internet content platforms that we all rely on every day to the risk of overwhelming criminal and civil liability for their customers’ actions.
