New Mexico's Attorney General is trying to educate law enforcement and the public about Human Trafficking. And his office is doing it with dramatic ads on buses and billboards across the state. The ads feature pictures of men, women and children with sayings like "Stop Slavery and "We're not for sale." According to the AG's office, most New Mexico cases involve U.S. citizens forced into prostitution or labor. The office has brought 12 human trafficking cases since it became one of the last in the country in 2008 to define the crime.
