Why Georgia Is Expanding Its Anti-Human Trafficking Unit Along Major Highways

Georgia’s anti-human trafficking unit is expanding, aiming for quick access to interstate highways used by smugglers. The expansion comes after a recent recovery of 11 child trafficking victims.

“This horrific industry is transitory in nature,” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr told the Daily Signal. “We don’t just have a legal obligation, we have a moral obligation to these children.”

The Georgia Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit, which Carr, a Republican, started in 2019, is headquartered in Atlanta, providing quick access to Interstate 75.

The attorney general’s office expanded satellite offices to Augusta and Macon this year to expand access to Interstates 85 and 16. Carr also plans to expand that effort to Savannah for better access to Interstate 95.
