Justice Department officials have yet to implement all the provisions of an anti-human trafficking bill that delayed the confirmation of Attorney General Loretta Lynch last year.

“While we are grateful for the work of the Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention and the stalwart anti-trafficking leaders within the department, some provisions of the [Justice for Victims of Human Trafficking Act] have yet to be implemented,” Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., wrote in a Tuesday letter to Lynch that was co-signed by a bipartisan group of 36 other lawmakers.
