Business of Stolen Lives: Ali Hopper on Child Trafficking & Organ Harvesting

Operating in the shadows—and in plain sight—organized cartels are turning human beings into a supply chain: children sold for sex, bodies targeted for organ harvesting, families shattered at the border. Investigators warn the demand is driven in large part by the U.S., and past border politics have only intensified the danger. In this episode, Ali Hopper, co-founder of GUARD Against Trafficking, pulls back the curtain on how these networks really work, who profits, and whether lawmakers are finally moving beyond speeches to action. She also shares what parents and communities can do now to spot grooming, disrupt recruitment, and protect kids.
