Description
Session Two: The Element of Trafficking in Ts and Us (1.5 hrs)
Building on Session One, this session will zoom in on the circumstances that meet the definition of the underlying trafficking victimization for each visa. Using case examples, our experts will answer the questions: When are the elements of a “severe form of human trafficking” met in the context of domestic violence or intimate partner violence? What facts need to be present for a sexual assault to constitute trafficking? When does an agreement to be smuggled into the US become a trafficking situation? Are some scenarios better suited to argue for T visa eligibility, rather than a U, or vice versa?
Speakers:
- Carson Osberg, Senior Attorney, Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking, (CAST)
- Lia Ocasio, Staff Attorney, ASISTA.
