This law allows victims to be relieved of criminal consequences that were imposed on them under conditions of coercion, threats, or control by their traffickers.


Based on information released by the U.S. government, this law was enacted with the aim of ensuring justice for victims and enables those who committed certain offenses as a result of force or threats to petition courts to vacate their prior convictions.


Under this law, victims can submit a formal request to the court so that a judge may expunge specific criminal convictions, as well as related arrest records, from official documents. This action can remove legal barriers hindering their return to normal life.


The White House has emphasized that implementing this law will play a significant role in reintegrating human trafficking victims into society and facilitating their access to employment, education, and social participation. Officials have described this measure as part of broader efforts to uphold human dignity and rebuild the lives of human trafficking survivors.

The White House has announced that Donald Trump, President of the United States, has signed a new law aimed at providing legal protections for individuals who were previously victims of human trafficking.
