this sounds like clickbait but nope there was a huge modern-day slavery bust in Georgia in 2021, the Biden admin very deliberately put in a bunch of antislavery updates to the H2A farm guest worker program in 2024 as a result, farmers hated them, & Trump just got rid of them back in June

and there's very little reporting on it bc 1) very few people understand the H2A farm guest worker program 2) people who DO report on farm labor are all busy covering the ICE raids

Reading “Hell Put to Shame” by Earl Swift about the peonage system (America’s second slavery) and it’s abused in Georgia in the 1920s and oof, what goes around comes around.
