“Eliminate T and U visas. Victimization should not be a basis for an immigration benefit. If an alien who was a trafficking or crime victim is actively and significantly cooperating with law enforcement as a witness, the S visa is already available and should be used. Pending elimination of the T and U visas, the Secretary should significantly restrict eligibility for each visa to prevent fraud.”

Context:
The elimination of T and U visas would be a huge and deliberate step back in the U.S.’s commitment to protecting human rights, particularly the rights of trafficking victims and crime victims.
