Lyft and DHS Team Up Against Human Trafficking

A Landmark Collaboration

In a significant move to combat human trafficking, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Blue Campaign has joined forces with Lyft, Inc. Moreover, this pioneering partnership introduces a tutorial program designed to empower rideshare drivers across the United States and Canada with the knowledge to detect and prevent human trafficking. Additionally, this collaboration marks a first-of-its-kind initiative, with Lyft featuring the Blue Campaign’s resources within its driver-only in-app Learning Center.  

The Power of Education and Awareness

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas emphasized the necessity of a unified effort to illuminate the dark world of human trafficking. Moreover, the new partnership with Lyft underscores the importance of private sector engagement and targeted training in the fight against this crime. Furthermore, Lyft drivers, who interact with millions of passengers annually, will now be equipped to identify potential trafficking situations and take steps to disrupt these activities effectively.   Lyft's Commitment to Safety Echoing the sentiment, Lyft CEO David Risher highlighted the company's zero-tolerance policy towards human trafficking. David Risher said: “Human trafficking — the illegal exploitation of a person — is a heinous crime. We have zero tolerance for it,” “We're proud to partner with DHS's Blue Campaign to raise awareness on the issue, so the one million people who drive on the Lyft platform can recognize and report it when they see it.”  

Super Bowl 2024

As a major activation of this partnership, Lyft will alert drivers in the Las Vegas area during Super Bowl 2024. This effort is particularly crucial during large events, where the risk of human trafficking can increase due to the influx of people and the anonymity provided by such gatherings. Through timely education and awareness, Lyft aims to mitigate these risks and safeguard vulnerable individuals.   The Blue Campaign The Campaign, run by the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking (CCHT), serves as a national public awareness campaign. Its mission is to educate the public, law enforcement, and industry partners on recognizing human trafficking indicators and responding appropriately. Additionally, this partnership with Lyft expands the campaign’s reach, furthering its mission to prevent human trafficking and protect victims.

A Unified Front Against Human Trafficking

This collaboration between Lyft and the DHS Blue Campaign represents a critical step forward in the global fight against human trafficking. By harnessing the collective power of government initiatives and private sector resources, this partnership aims to create a safer environment for all. Moreover, through education, awareness, and action, Lyft drivers are now at the forefront of detecting and preventing human trafficking, showcasing how community involvement can make a significant impact.   Sources: THX News & US Department of Homeland Security.

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons

Almost every country in the world is affected by trafficking.

• In 2018 about 50,000 human trafficking victims were detected and reported by 148 countries. • 50 percent of detected victims were trafficked for sexual exploitation, 38 percent were exploited for forced labor. • Female victims continue to be the primary targets. Women make up 46% and girls 19% of all victims of trafficking. • Globally, one in every three victims detected is a child. • The share of children among detected trafficking victims has tripled, while the share of boys has increased five times over the past 15 years.

Types of human trafficking are -

• Sexual exploitation • Forced labor • Slavery • Debt bondage • The removal of organs.

Men, women, and children of all ages and from all backgrounds can become victims of this crime, which occurs in every region of the world. Where victims are forced to work, living in fear of violence, some victims are tricked into having their organs removed, and children are forced to serve as soldiers.

It is really a nightmare. To eliminate human trafficking –

• We must break the inhumane cycle of discrimination and injustices • Be alert for signs that may indicate trafficking in persons is taking place • Follow the appropriate procedures for reporting this type of incident and • Increase public awareness

Let’s end the misery - Stop human trafficking

West Virginia Man Pleads Guilty in Labor Trafficking

A Decade of Coerced Labor Ends in Guilty Plea

In a significant breakthrough for justice and human rights, a West Virginia resident, Frederick Sayre Anderson, aged 63, has pleaded guilty to his role in a disturbing labor trafficking scheme. This plea is the culmination of a rigorous investigation led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Charleston, along with the West Virginia State Police and the Parkersburg Police Department. The case throws light on a grave instance of exploitation, where a foreign national was forced to work for over a decade without compensation.  

The Investigation’s Path to Justice

The investigation revealed that Anderson engaged in manipulative tactics to exploit a noncitizen for financial gain. In June 2010, Anderson deceitfully filed a Petition for Alien Fiancé to bring a foreign national into the United States on a 90-day K-1 nonimmigrant visa. Upon her arrival in January 2011, Anderson took her to Parkersburg, West Virginia, where she was compelled to live and work at his business until May 2021 without pay.   HSI's Persistent Efforts Lead to Exposure HSI Charleston's unwavering dedication to uncovering the truth led to several visits to Anderson’s business, culminating in May 2021. During these visits, Anderson took extensive measures to conceal the victim's presence, including instructing her to hide and lying to the agents about her whereabouts.  

The Harsh Reality of Human Trafficking

U.S. Attorney Will Thompson commented on the case, highlighting the severity of coerced labor and the necessity for increased vigilance and response to human trafficking. Although authorities did not file human trafficking charges in this instance, the case starkly reminds us of the hidden exploitation crimes occurring within communities.   The Consequences of Labor Trafficking Anderson's guilty plea for concealing, harboring, and shielding a noncitizen from detection carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. His sentencing, scheduled for April 18, marks a significant moment in the fight against labor exploitation and human trafficking.  

HSI's Comprehensive Approach to Combat Trafficking

HSI Charleston's investigation is part of a broader effort by HSI to combat labor exploitation and human trafficking. HSI focuses on protecting critical infrastructures, reducing illegal employment, and preserving employment opportunities for the lawful workforce. The agency also targets employers involved in criminal activity, worker exploitation, and other violations related to the employment of unauthorized workers.   DHS’s Center for Countering Human Trafficking The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Countering Human Trafficking integrates 16 agencies within DHS to carry out anti-trafficking missions. Traffickers often use force, fraud, coercion, and social media platforms to control and exploit victims. This comprehensive approach includes assisting victims and bringing perpetrators to justice.  

HSI's Victim Assistance Program and Public Participation

HSI’s Victim Assistance Program plays a pivotal role in supporting investigations, crucially informing victims, including those of trafficking, about their rights and available services. Furthermore, the public can actively participate in this fight against human trafficking by anonymously reporting suspicions to the HSI Tip Line, which operates 24/7. Indeed, this collaborative effort between law enforcement and the public is vital in the ongoing battle against human trafficking.   A Stand Against Modern-Day Slavery The successful conclusion of this labor trafficking case by HSI Charleston not only highlights the agency's relentless pursuit of justice for victims of exploitation but also underscores the critical importance of community awareness and law enforcement collaboration in combating the scourge of modern-day slavery. Moreover, this case serves as a potent reminder that the fight against human trafficking demands constant vigilance and a unified effort to protect the most vulnerable members of society.   Sources: THX News & US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
