On Friday, leading 2024 presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump vowed to end child and human trafficking using Title 42 and make all traffickers face the death penalty.
In a video titled, "Agenda47: President Trump Calls for Death Penalty for Human Traffickers," Trump said, "I was thrilled to host a screening at Bedminster of the important new film, Sound of Freedom about the power of faith in overcoming evil and in particular, the evil of child trafficking. Big problem. We had it down to the lowest number in many years, just four years ago, and now it's gone through the roof."
"Even though the fake news media has tried to ignore it," Trump added.
"Sound of Freedom has been a national sensation and a colossal success at the box office, really big numbers, everyone should see it. This is a very important film and very important movie and it's a very important documentary all wrapped up in one," Trump added.
"It's really about an issue that has to be discussed," Trump continued.
"Under my leadership, we did more than any administration in history to combat human trafficking and to end modern-day slavery. In one of my first acts in office, I signed an executive order targeting transnational criminal organizations that traffic and exploit innocent people," Trump said.
"I signed the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, authorizing $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking," Trump added.
"I signed legislation to crack down on foreign countries who are not meeting standards for eliminating trafficking, of which there are many," Trump continued.
"I also signed into law the Abolish Human Trafficking Act, which strengthened programs supporting survivors and provided more resources for ending modern slavery," Trump said.
"We do have modern slavery, if you can believe it. Additionally, I created the first-ever White House position focused solely on combating human trafficking and perhaps most importantly, we created the most secure border in US history by far, dealing a major blow to the cartels and traffickers," Trump added.
"We built hundreds of miles of wall. We renovated hundreds of miles of wall. We never had anything like it, and then I got Mexico free of charge, to give us 28,000 soldiers to protect us from people coming into our country illegally," Trump continued.
"When I'm back in the White House, I will immediately end the Biden border nightmare that traffickers are using to exploit vulnerable women and children. We will fully secure the border. I will wage war on the cartels just as I destroyed the ISIS caliphate, 100% gone, 100% destroyed. They'll come back now because we have a weak administration," Trump said.
"I will use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their home countries and without delay, and I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately and that includes also for women, because women, as you know, are number one in trafficking. Children are actually number two," Trump added.
"I want to thank Eduardo, Jim, Tim Ballard, and everyone else involved in this film for their incredible efforts and their great genius. Together, we will end the scourge of human trafficking, and we will defend the dignity of human life," Trump vowed.
"Thank you very much," Trump finished.
In total, Trump authorized nearly $600 million to fight child and human trafficking.
Trump's presidency resulted in a 14 percent increase in human and child trafficking convictions in 2017.
Trump's Director of National Intelligence declared human trafficking a top priority for American intelligence agencies, which Biden has since rescinded.
As president, Trump signed nine pieces of legislation to fight child and human trafficking not only in the United States but worldwide.
Trump did more than any other president to fight child trafficking.
