…that, in the United States, the National Human Trafficking Hotline receives an average of 150 calls per day concerning victims and suspected victims?
 
…that an estimated 18,000 to 20,000 victims are added to the human trafficking network in the United States every year?
 
…that the Urban Institute, a Washington think tank, found 71% of labor trafficking victims entered the US legally?
 
…that, when it comes to the number of victims in the United States, Washington, D.C., the home of the US Government and Legislation, ranks #1?
