Yes, there are legal actions that specifically target those who engage in human trafficking activities. In the United States, human trafficking is addressed as a crime under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA). The TVPA includes criminal penalties for traffickers, as well as providing protective services to victims. It also serves to increase public awareness of human trafficking and provide training to identify and assist victims. Additionally, the Supreme Court has ruled that transporting individuals for exploitation for labor or commercial sex work qualifies as trafficking under the TVPA.
