A practice utilized by dubious organizations to raise massive amounts of money. Generally, they will use veterans, many times wounded combat veterans, to help raise funds for veteran-focused initiatives that have high social value. Unfortunately it seems, a larger portion of the funding will go to pay organizational salaries, marketing, and other expenses not directly benefiting anyone but the organizers and their business associates. This practice makes it more more difficult to raise funds for the organizations that spend a higher percentage of their monies on actual programs and services that directly benefit veterans in need.
I talked to Sergeant Henderson and he said the organization he had been helping was a front for a vet-trafficking operation. On several weekend fundraising events, he witnessed drunken partying every night and money being spent on expensive hotel rooms and rental vehicles. He said he even overheard one of the inebriated organizational managers bragging about his 6-digit salary.

Undercover travel agents working in the shadow economy, offering transport to people who wish or need to travel internationally, including refugees fleeing persecution; and/or people from whatever background who help migrants to evade racist restrictions on freedom of movement between countries, including those who help refugees escape from persecution.
This is a recently INVENTED word which has appeared in the mass media, perhaps from the Millbank spin machine, in an attempt to justify attacks on the right of refugees to flee oppression, torture and death. It did not exist until about a year ago. It is used as an excuse for persecuting refugees and those who transport them, by likening the latter to drug and arms "traffickers" (although genealogically, to "traffick" simply means to move something from one place to another - in which case all commercial pilots, bus and train drivers and people who take passengers in their cars are strictly speaking "people traffickers" - it is linked to the word "traffic", used to refer to lots of cars etc. in one place; this use, however, is archaic, and to traffick now means to smuggle illegal goods).
It basically means that the people who use the word think that people - especially black people - are THINGS which can be OWNED and therefore TRAFFICKED like drugs and arms; worse still, that people are ILLEGAL goods to be trafficked and owned. Its use is evidence of the barely concealed racism of the government and the corporate media as well as all the sheep who buy into the filth they spout.
It has become popular partly because of a lot of publicity surrounding sections of migrancy which are run by organised criminals and involve the establishment of sex slavery and forced labour. However, the laws brought in against "people traffickers" are typically aimed at ANYONE who transports migrants, including refugees, and so could even apply to heroic people such as human rights activists who help people flee oppression.

New laws against people trafficking increase penalties for concealing migrants inside one's vehicle.

When unscrupulous mainland Chinese manufacturers ship millions of inferior or ISO-unapproved masks to syndicates in both developed and developing countries, which then distribute them to unsuspected hospitals and businesses—when low quality masks the wallet-friendly masks.
Is mask trafficking behind the difference between “Three China-made mask boxes for $10” and “One mask box at $8”?
