Government Accountability Project's issue brief presents how whistleblowers expose oversight gaps in the US immigration and food production industry.
The Government Accountability Project, through its substantial immigration and food integrity campaigns have represented numerous whistleblowers who have reported serious wrongdoing, including exploitation of migrant children as well worrying dangers to workers, and consumers, within the meat and poultry industry.
In the Government Accountability Project's press release for the brief they state:
"This issue brief offers a unique perspective that highlights the oversight gaps whistleblowers have brought to light in the immigration and food production systems, along with weaknesses in legal protections for whistleblowers, which together converge to create situations ripe for serious dangers—including the exploitation of immigrant youth. The brief additionally offers solutions which include strengthening whistleblower protections and corporate oversight, as well as reframing immigration policy."
