Workers were detained without being informed if their rights, and were angry that Ice agents mocked them with remarks about “North Korea” and “rocket man” – an insult Trump has previously used about Pyongyang’s leader, Kim Jong-un.
Guardian also reported that a leaked ICE document showed that ICE knowingly detained workers who were in the US legally, on appropriate valid visas.

ICE also made them sign papers at gun point and without providing translation. 70 people in one room, not medical care, no food, shackled, etc. Now that the workers are free from the US they are talking.

This is the context
Evidently, Hyundai was warned, they had issues a number of times. They had applied and had been denied. They had a history of labor violations, child labor etc.
So, I gather the chamber of commerce's or Democrats plan here would be to look the other way, go out of their way to help them comply, keep it out of the news, cover it up if necessary and hide any malfeasance.
Did I miss anything?
Yes, you missed that they were here legally and many of them were doing work they were legally allowed to do and because some of the people there were doping work they were not allowed to do, the rounded everyone that didn't have citizenship and threw them in a prison for a week.
There are questions around the work they were doing like pouring concrete. We have domestic labor that can do that. Curious- were the US citizens rounded up with the 475 of Korean descent?

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.
