On June 11, 2024, the chairs issued a statement regarding the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) recent additions to the "Entity List" under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

"We welcome the addition of three entities in the seafood, aluminum, and footwear sectors by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to the 'Entity List' of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act," stated the chairs. They highlighted that these entities include Shandong Meijia Group, which was recommended for inclusion following an October 2023 Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) hearing on seafood imports linked to forced labor.

"Today’s action sends a clear message to everyone from supermarkets to U.S. government agencies that the import of seafood and other goods connected to forced labor in China will not be tolerated," they added.

The chairs also expressed their commitment to supporting DHS with necessary tools and resources to ensure effective implementation of this measure. "We also pledge continued support for providing DHS with the tools and resources needed to robustly implement today's action."
