And that same ideology continually wants to pay Americans not to work!
It's all upsides backward.
If the defendant is pulled over with 14+(quantity not age) young women in his truck, not that hard to establish what was going on here.

From the viewpoint that the victims life's are taken away from them, living in slavery, misery until they are disposed (=killed) like trash, why yes, this is murder.

It would depend on the cause of the trafficking for me - if it was child prostitution or slavery I support the death penalty but I know a few who had to flee here to the UK to avoid the Cartels and going official routes would have got them murdered.
There's a small but sizeable minority of people being trafficked ethically due to the collapse of South American governments against the Cartels - if the penalty only applied to those guilty of the OHCHR definition I'd support it.
I don't support applying it to anyone or immediately as miscariages of justice/false inprisonment happen where innocent people are wrongly convicted and a far stricter burden of proof and case specific approach should be used to respect reality. Details matter, especially when dishing out capital punishment.

If you look at it from the sexual slavery part, where young children as well as adults are sold into slavery, you might look at it different and forget any political bull# about the left and see it as it is: murder with torture and often rape on top.
