ICE raid: South Koreans feel betrayed over workers' detainment
Some idiot MAGA lady (who is of course running for Congress) reported this Hyundai factory to ICE.
On September 4, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a massive raid at Hyundai Motor Group’s electric vehicle battery plant in Ellabell, Georgia, detaining 475 workers, the majority of whom (over 300) were South Korean nationals. The operation—described as the largest workplace raid under the current administration’s mass deportation agenda—involved armed agents, military-style vehicles, drones, and helicopters, leaving workers feeling “hunted like animals,” according to witnesses. Many of the detained South Koreans were engineers and specialized technicians brought in temporarily to install and service high-tech equipment, work they were legally authorized to perform under B-1 business visas or the ESTA visa waiver program, which allows short-term business stays for citizens of 41 countries, including South Korea.
