Massive ICE Raid at Hyundai Plant in Georgia Results in Hundreds Detained
A major immigration operation executed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted a Hyundai electric vehicle plant in Georgia, leading to the detention of at least 450 individuals, many of whom are believed to be undocumented workers. The raid, which has paused construction at the Hyundai megasite, has raised concerns from South Korea regarding the detention of its nationals among those apprehended. Federal agents raided the site amidst heightened scrutiny over immigration practices and workforce conditions at manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The operation has sparked discussions about immigration enforcement and its implications for companies reliant on immigrant labor.
