Over the past five months, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has identified more than 1,900 shipments—valued at nearly $500 million—that were suspected of containing goods made with forced labor.

The vast majority of those shipments, 1,701 valued at $487 million, were identified under the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act (UFLPA), which took effect less than one year ago.

What about all those EVs that contain cobalt that was mined with child labor?
