"[G]iven your committees' roles in overseeing DHS, we urge you to investigate and hold hearings into DHS's efforts to combat human trafficking. Without our attention and leadership, human trafficking will continue to plague this country," wrote the senators.

"The recent movie, Sound of Freedom (which is based on the true story of former Homeland Security Investigations agent Tim Ballard's efforts to rescue victims from a Colombian sex-trafficking ring), "has played an important role in creating public awareness of this modern-day form of slavery," continued the senators.

"The United States Senate must continue to conduct much-needed oversight of this administration's border policies to find immediate solutions to combat one of the most disturbing consequences of inadequate border security: the proliferation of human trafficking," concluded the senators.
