provided mandatory restitution for trafficking victims, a provision that is unfortunately more unenforced than enforced. in fact, rarely enforced, i think, to provide for restitutions a recent study by the human trafficking pro bono legal center took a look at how the requirement works in practice and found that only about 36.6% of the cases did prosecutors bostonner to request restitution. so my question is really two-fold. number one, do the statutes need to be strengthened and number two, can you and would you do more to make sure that restitution is provided to victims of human trafficing? >> certainly senator. the issue of restitution for the victims of human trafficing is an important one particularly as we do increase the number of cases that we bring. certainly sometimes there are situations where a court may not impose restitution because the funds are not there or for other legal reasons, but where we can, we always do seek a restitution order for the victims. we in particular have worked with other governments to provide them information where we have found, for example, that c

supreme court made section 5 unenforceable because the data used to determine covered jurisdictions is outdated, according to the court. the supreme court has now called on congress to modify the formula. to this day, mr. speaker, our republican colleagues have refused to allow the bipartisan b.r.a. amendment bill -- v.r.a. amendment bill to be vote on. mr. goodlatte said he has no intention to legislate a modification to the formula. the effect of not having section 5 is to allow jurisdictions to pass discriminatory election laws with impunity and without oversight. the voting rights act enabled african-american communities to elect hundreds of black elected officials. we successfully litigated dozen and dozens of cases. many of my colleagues were elected because enforcement of the voting rights act forced -- it force -- states to draw congressional districts where black communities are not submerged in their -- and their vote diluted system of mr. speaker this story must be understood by every american citizen, the right to vote for african-americans was obtained by blood, sweat, and
