FILE - In this Dec. 3, 2018, file photo, people walk by a police station by the front gate of the Artux City Vocational Skills Education Training Service Center in Artux in western China's Xinjiang region. U.S. Customs and Border Protection say officers have detained a shipment of beauty supplies including weaves suspected to be made with human hair that originated in Xinjiang, China. Border Protection tells The Associated Press it seized the shipment Wednesday in New York because the weaves appear to be a product of forced child labor and imprisonment. Twice this year U.S. Customs has banned imports of hair weaves believed to be made by people locked inside Chinese detention camps. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan, File)
