Summary
H.R. 7089 would authorize diplomatic security agents of the Department of State to investigate slavery and human trafficking if part of the offense occurred outside the United States or involved a foreign national. Under current law, the Department of Justice investigates those offenses. Diplomatic security agents investigate passport and visa fraud, identity theft, and other federal offenses occurring in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The bill would require the Department of State to submit an annual report to the Congress on its investigative activities. The bill’s requirements would expire seven years after enactment.
