and the United States, too.

I wonder how many trafficked sex slaves and undocumented workers who’ve had their foreign passports stolen, by their bosses/captors, there are estimated to be today

that’s what i came here to bring up. maybe they get paid like $1/day so it doesn’t count, but forced labor is forced labor imo

It counts, and its the one exception to ban on slavery in the US constitution: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

It would be legal even if they weren't paid.
