Statement on First Anniversary of President Biden Signing the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into Law
DHS continues its diligent enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its leadership of the federal government’s Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force. In the year since President Biden signed the UFLPA into law with overwhelming bipartisan support, DHS has spearheaded collaborations with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), industry, and federal partners to keep goods made with forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region out of U.S. commerce, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade.
