Work across at least 22 Korean projects in the US halted after raid.

“The $4.3 billion joint venture battery facility, among the largest projects in Georgia and is expected to create 8,500 jobs, was scheduled for completion later this year to supply battery cells to Hyundai’s nearby EV factory, Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America LLC (HMGMA).
Construction work on the site was suspended following the raid.

The incident has thrown Korea’s flagship investment projects in the US into disarray.
Sources said at least 22 other factory sites involving Korean business groups, in autos, shipbuilding, steel and electrical equipment, have been nearly halted.”

Also from the article...

[quote]Korean companies with US interests have frozen travel plans and recalled staff already in the US over fears of further raids. “Korean workers are being treated like criminals for building factories that Washington itself lobbied for,” said a company executive in Seoul. “If this continues, investment in the US could be reconsidered.”[/quote]

S. Korea is a stalwart ally. An ICE raid was not the right way to handle this matter.

This!  Whatever the problem, an ICE raid was not the solution.  If -- *if* -- Hyundai was not hiring American to the extent promised, then deal with that at the corporate level.  Detaining a bunch of workers was cruel.[/quote]
