How trafficking in Indigenous communities has been ignored under Trump — High Country News: Stories like Jehan and Marissa's are not uncommon. According to advocates, human trafficking of Indigenous people is a quiet crisis because national and regional data on the issue are limited to non-existent. To tackle the problem, in 2016 the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) — the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice — awarded funding to study sex trafficking in Indigenous communities. Advocates say this move would have provided a pivotal first step in addressing the issue by conducting a national needs assessment. However, in early 2017, in the midst of the Trump administration transition, the study was killed. The National Institute of Justice cited “administration issues” for the scuttling of the report. Upon requests for more information, the NIJ did not elaborate further.
