Immigrant workers, whether undocumented or visa holders, who are particularly vulnerable to Covid-19 infection already due to untreated chronic health conditions and poorer nutritional status, may be at additional risk of exposure due to labor exploitation or trafficking in industries considered "essential" such as farm, construction or factory labor.

Last November, a county in Minneapolis saw its first ever labor trafficking case, which involved the construction industry, go to trial. Read about it here: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/11/18/contractor-ricardo-batres-pleads-guilty-in-rare-labor-trafficking-case

    ​Every day in January, we posted content created by members of our task force to highlight the realities of human trafficking locally and nationally. Learn about the impact of COVID-19 on human trafficking, how to separate fact from fiction about how trafficking happens and become knowledgeable about recent cases, relevant research, policies and resources for survivors and advocates.
