International Counter-Trafficking Operations
The world sees statistics. I see names.
— Fernando Figueroa, Founder, Anti-Trafficking Bureau
Rescue is only the beginning. Real success means prevention, intervention, restoration, and creating opportunities for survivors to rebuild their future. That is why I founded ATB.

Our Purpose
Intelligence first. Rescue always.
Human trafficking is a transnational criminal enterprise linked to organized crime, terrorism financing, and national security threats. Most organizations ask whether the victim was rescued. We ask a different question: can they rebuild their future?
ATB brings intelligence capability, operational experience, and coordinated enforcement to the fight, working directly alongside elite police units, prosecutors, and investigators across the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Ecuador, and Haiti.
Prevent
Intelligence-led early identification of trafficking patterns and networks before they reach full operation.
Protect
Victim-centered care ensuring safety, dignity, and access to critical services from the moment of rescue through long-term restoration.
Pursue
Covert and overt investigations to document, disrupt, and dismantle criminal networks through coordinated multi-agency operations.
Partner
Building sustainable counter-trafficking capacity in law enforcement and judicial systems across developing regions.
Operational Branches
A comprehensive response.
SIU
Special Investigations Unit
Covert and overt investigations to identify, document, and disrupt trafficking networks while supporting law enforcement and judicial processes. SIU agents work embedded with local prosecutors and police, building cases from intelligence gathering through arrest and prosecution.
SVU
Special Victims Unit
Victim-centered care, advocacy, and coordination to ensure survivors receive protection, dignity, and access to critical services. From the moment of rescue through long-term restoration, SVU walks alongside survivors as they rebuild their lives.
E&P
Education & Prevention
Specialized training programs for law enforcement, prosecutors, intelligence agencies, and community professionals. ATB has trained over 600 elite operators across SWAT, the Lince Unit, the Grey Berets, and counter-trafficking units in multiple countries.
COP
Community Outreach Program
Food distribution, school supplies, and essential support to vulnerable communities, particularly Haitian bateys in the Dominican Republic. COP builds trust and creates safe channels for reporting trafficking cases in areas where exploitation thrives in silence.
Endorsed By
Leaders who stand with us.
I have worked alongside Fernando in the fight against human trafficking for two years. He is a man of unwavering integrity and exceptional courage. His professionalism is consistently demonstrated by the standard of excellence he upholds in every operation.
After transitioning to civilian life, I sought a meaningful way to serve again and found it with the Anti-Trafficking Bureau. The team's unwavering dedication to protecting the vulnerable has been nothing short of inspiring.
His knowledge, skill, and experience not just in anti-human trafficking, but in tactical, operational, and strategic operations is incredible. One of the most dedicated people I have had the privilege to know.
I am honored to stand alongside the Anti-Trafficking Bureau and support its mission to combat human trafficking through education, prevention, intervention, and survivor support. What sets ATB apart is its commitment to turning awareness into action - equipping communities, supporting law enforcement, protecting the vulnerable, and empowering survivors.
What They Say
Trusted by those who know.

"He's the real deal."
Lewis Herms
2026 California Gubernatorial Candidate
"I've been doing this for six or seven years now, and I've interviewed several organizations that claim they're taking care of children. I've met several of them, and I rarely ask anybody to donate to one because I've had trouble fully vetting what they say they do. Sometimes the numbers don't add up, or something just doesn't mesh. I asked Fernando to send me a bunch of information so I could vet the organization. I don't put my name on the line for anything I don't trust. Fernando sent me a great deal of information, and I've completely vetted it. Guys, he's the real deal. He has a very large team that you'll never see, along with a very small team that handles the administration. He's not wasting your money, folks. If you really want to help children, I don't currently know a better place where you can feel safe about what they're doing than ATB."

"I want more warriors like that."
"Brother Fernando is an operator himself, and he's been in this fight for at least 10 years, that I know of. He's a bad motor scooter, man. That guy is something else."

"He is legit."
"They're doing incredible work down here. We had lunch with them, learned about what they're doing, and, man, I love this guy and I love his team."

"I don't know anybody more involved than Fernando."
"I know a lot of people who are involved in anti-trafficking, but I don't know anybody who is more involved or who has been involved longer than Fernando."
