A group of Thai farm workers have written a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder expressing their disappointment in the outcome of a human trafficking case. The case, the largest ever brought by the U.S. government, did not go to trial, and workers say that they are disappointed. The case was against the Los Angeles-based firm Global Horizons, who was accused of putting around 600 workers into debt, taking away their passports and threatening them with deportation. The trial was scheduled to be held in Honolulu this month, but federal prosecutors asked that the case against the executives of the firm be dismissed.
