"In 2021, Operation Blooming Onion, one of largest investigations into the trafficking of seasonal guest workers, revealed that thousands of them had been illegally charged millions of dollars to work on Georgia’s farms. Some were forced to pick crops for little to no pay in what prosecutors described as a form of modern-day slavery. The very worst of those abuses included the repeated rape and kidnapping of a foreign farmworker, which was at the center of a recent ProPublica investigation."
