Seal and Repel

At the direction of the President, U.S. Northern Command is supporting the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and its operational component, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, by providing mission-enhancing capabilities to secure the border and stop the flow of human trafficking, illegal drugs, contraband, criminals, and illegal aliens into the country. The training has an animated map showing the routes and patterns of human traffickers into and across the U.S. and a section on visible signs and markings of cartels, gangs, and violent transnational or foreign terrorist organizations who are known for their involvement in human trafficking. This training is specifically for those who are deploying to the border and covers how human traffickers exploit our southern border, the difference between human smuggling and human trafficking, signs and indicators of trafficking at the border, and standard reporting procedures for suspected trafficking incidents and victims.
