Georgia Hyundai Plant ICE Raid

[Anonymous]

Wind and solar generated electricity is not the same as coal generated electricity. It is a different type of electricity. It is liberal electricity.

Cars can only run on gasoline extracted from shale oil from red states! Batteries are the devil’s electricity.

Bet all those chip makers, automakers, etc are full speed head with building plants in the USA.

As Charlie Sheen said - winning!

Attorney says detained Korean Hyundai workers had special skills for short-term jobs
Nation Sep 8, 2025 6:47 PM EDT
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A lawyer for several workers detained at a Hyundai factory in Georgia says many of the South Koreans rounded up in the immigration raid are engineers and equipment installers brought in for the highly specialized work of getting an electric battery plant online.

Atlanta immigration attorney Charles Kuck, who represents four of the detained South Korean nationals, told The Associated Press on Monday that many were doing work that is authorized under the B-1 business visitor visa program. They had planned to be in the U.S. for just a couple of weeks and “never longer than 75 days,” he said.

Masked gunmen arrested and put them in handcuffs and leg irons. Word is they have not been allowed to contact anyone. Hyundai is being told to make a donation to Trump’s presidential campaign fund. Welcome to America!

Looks like foreign investments will stop for the foreseeable future in the US. When they arrest your technical advisors and engineers needed to get the $7.6 billion plant up in running it drives off investors. What a stupid move.

Looks like foreign investments should play by the visa rules.

They did. This is why the South Koreans are so upset. All these Koreans filled out work visas and entered the country through legal means. They flew here on airplanes and showed their passport with visas.

Then why were they raided?

Because ICE and Trump are corrupt AF.

They flew here in airplanes? Wow, good to know they didn't take a boat.

They did? I'd love to see some real hard facts on this. It's either what the US said or what their attorney said.

Doubling down!

LONDON (AP) — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday she doesn’t think the detention of hundreds of South Koreans in an immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia will deter investment in the United States because such tough actions mean there is no uncertainty about the Trump administration’s policies.


The detention of 475 workers, more than 300 of them South Korean, in the Sept. 4 raid has caused confusion, shock and a sense of betrayal among many in the U.S.-allied nation.

“This is a great opportunity for us to make sure that all companies are reassured that when you come to the United States, you’ll know what the rules of the game are,” Noem said at a meeting in London of ministers from the “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing partnership focused on border security.

“We’re encouraging all companies who want to come to the United States and help our economy and employ people, that we encourage them to employ U.S. citizens and to bring people to our country that want to follow our laws and work here the right way,” she told reporters.

The detained Koreans would be deported after most were detained for ignoring removal orders, while “a few” had engaged in other criminal activity and will “face the consequences,” Noem said.[/quote]

Wow 38,000 jobs gone. Now you are going to charge them with other crimes? Let me guess …they were all in the Epstein files or were they eating dogs? Who the f would invest in the US?

This is crazy Orwellian stuff.

What kind of documents do you need to fly internationally- passport, visa, etc. They must have used the Jedi mind trick on CBP to enter the country. I guess you think they were smuggled across the Mexican border by coyotes. Maybe they were going to take a boat but after Trump blew up that boat carrying refugees…

Because it was an EV factory.

Because an idiot MAGA congressional candidate reported the whole operation to ICE.

The state of Georgia and local areas are giving Hyundai 2 billion dollars in tax breaks because they thought Americans would be hired. There is no reason for almost 500 Korean workers to take jobs away from Americans.

Democrats should be supporting this? What party is now for the worker? Please tell me so I can join that party? Democrats and Republicans only care about the rich.

They were setting up the plant and training workers. Now there will probably be no plant and the locals can go back to standing in line for a job at Walmart. FAFO.

Vote better next time.

KOREA HALTS MAJOR U.S. INVESTMENT PROJECTS AFTER IMMIGRATION RAID.

• The $4.3 billion joint venture battery facility, among the largest projects in Georgia & expected to create 8,500 jobs, was scheduled for completion in late 2025 to supply battery cells to Hyundai’s nearby EV factory. But, construction work on the site is suspended following the immigration raid.
• 22 other factory sites involving Korean businesses (autos, shipbuilding, steel, electrical equipment) have been halted.
