===Human trafficking=== Portman has been involved in efforts to end human trafficking.<ref name=britannica/> As a member of the [[United States Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations|Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations]], he began investigating sex trafficking in 2015. The investigation found that classified advertising website [[Backpage]] was aware that the website was being used to sell young girls for sex. Portman sponsored the [[Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act]], which clarified sex trafficking laws to make it illegal to knowingly assist, facilitate, or support sex trafficking. SESTA was passed by Congress and signed into law by Trump in April 2018.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Wehrman |first1=Jessica |title=Senate passes sex trafficking bill pushed by Portman |url=https://www.dispatch.com/news/20180321/senate-passes-sex-trafficking-bill-pushed-by-portman |access-date=December 30, 2020 |work=The Columbus Dispatch |language=en |archive-date=February 4, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210204184057/https://www.dispatch.com/news/20180321/senate-passes-sex-trafficking-bill-pushed-by-portman |url-status=dead }}</ref>
