美国海关边境保护局因解除针对多米尼加糖业公司的进口禁令而受到质询。该局在2022年曾以强迫劳动为由对Central Romana Corporation实施禁令，指控该公司隔离工人、扣押工资，并造成虐待性的工作和生活条件1。禁令在去年特朗普政府任期内被解除1。
非营利组织Corporate Accountability Lab在周二发布的报告中指出，经过三年多的调查后发现强迫劳动情况仍在持续1。美国参议员Ron Wyden随即在周四致信海关边境保护局，要求该部门提供禁令解除的相关信息和文件1。Wyden指责该机构"出现了突然放弃自己既定行政程序的情况"，并称这一做法"规避了政治关联、亿万富翁拥有的公司的标准贸易执法程序"1。
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency faces mounting scrutiny following the removal of an import prohibition on a major Dominican sugar producer accused of labor abuses.1 The agency had imposed a ban on Central Romana Corporation in 2022 after allegations that the company isolated workers, withheld wages, and maintained abusive working and living conditions.1 That ban was lifted during the Trump administration's tenure last year.1
A nonprofit watchdog organization, Corporate Accountability Lab, released a report on Tuesday indicating that forced labor practices continue at the facility following an investigation spanning more than three years.1 Senator Ron Wyden responded by sending a letter to the customs agency on Thursday demanding information and documentation regarding the ban's removal, accusing the organization of abandoning established administrative procedures and bypassing standard trade enforcement protocols for politically connected, billionaire-owned companies.1
