Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume for the purpose of closing. Human trafficking causes unimaginable suffering, and this bill empowers the Diplomatic Security Service to extend its essential work in investigating and combating these crimes, ensuring we can respond quickly and effectively. Our Diplomatic Security officers, with their unique global reach and expertise, play a vital role in dismantling trafficking networks that operate across borders. H.R. 7089 is not just about expanding authority. It is about delivering justice and hope to victims while holding traffickers accountable. Mr. Speaker, I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this important bill. I yield back the balance of my time.
