US will seize all Top Glove imports after finding 'sufficient evidence' of forced labor

 


More of this needs to be done. Slave labor is still rampant worldwide: 

The US Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) has ordered port officials to seize all disposable gloves made by the world's largest producer over allegations of forced labor.

The agency "will not tolerate foreign companies' exploitation of vulnerable workers to sell cheap, unethically-made goods to American consumers," Troy Miller, a senior CBP official, said in a statement.

A document published on the US government's Federal Register said the agency had found evidence that certain disposable gloves have been "produced, or manufactured in Malaysia by Top Glove Corporation Bhd with the use of convict, forced or indentured labor."

Trump, who is being prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith for his involvement in plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, based his motion on the fact that Judge Chutkan referenced him at the sentencing of January 6 rioters.
