Description
Session 3: Smuggling Turned Trafficking and Forced Criminality (1.5 hrs.)
In the course of their trafficking or its aftermath, survivors are commonly forced into criminal acts that would otherwise make it challenging to obtain lawful status. They may also turn to unlawful means of coping with the effects of their victimization. In this session we will tackle how to handle criminal acts, allegations, or convictions, and will pay special attention to scenarios where the survivor was compelled into certain acts or labor during the course of being smuggled into the U.S.
Speakers:
- Ashwini Jaisingh, Senior Immigration Attorney, UMD SAFE Center
