In 2006, 550 Indian workers were trafficked to the US after Hurricane Katrina.
In 2008, they escaped from labor camps, walked to Washington and launched a hunger strike for justice… now, over 20 of these Guest Workers who triggered a high-profile federal investigation into human traffecking, havebeen targeted by a raid carried out by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, near Fargo, North Dakota.
It is in the middle of this, that I have been given the privilege to travel as a supporter, ally, and advocate first to Delhi, to participate in an event at Constitution Hall targeting Supreme Court Advocates in India, and later to visit families’ homes in Kerala.
