Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) unveiled a new specialty license plate that encourages people to be vocal about human trafficking.
, “Human trafficking is a crime in which force, fraud or coercion is used to compel a person to perform labor, services or commercial sex. It affects all populations: adults, children, men, women, foreign nationals and U.S. citizens, and all economic classes.”
Critics have accused Abbott of practically human trafficking since he’s bused migrants from Texas to other states, like Washington, D.C., New York City and Chicago several times. But that hasn’t stopped him in this month’s goal of spreading awareness to end human trafficking. “I am proud to unveil the ‘Stop Human Trafficking’ specialty license plate as we raise awareness about the horrific exploitation of men, women and children across the state,” said Abbott. “Texas will continue to lead the fight against the scourge of human trafficking by educating the public, supporting survivors and shedding light on the injustices that many face. We encourage Texans across the state to join us in our mission to eradicate human trafficking.
