Exclusive: critics accuse ICE of ‘outrageous’ and ‘unlawful’ detention of Korean man
At least one of the Korean workers swept up in a massive immigration raid on a Hyundai Motor factory site in Georgia last week was living and working legally in the US, according to an internal federal government document obtained by the Guardian.
Officials then “mandated” that he agree to be removed from the US despite not having violated his visa.
The document shows that immigration officials are aware that someone with a valid visa was among the people arrested during the raid at the Hyundai factory and taken to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention for removal proceedings, where the people arrested remained on Tuesday before expected deportation flights back to South Korea.
Instead of being happy that a foreign company is spending billions to move manufacturing to the USA, they do targeted raids and flash deportations without due process
If I were the CEO I would immediately shut down any new factory plans out of spite
Not even out of spite. Out of Practical concerns about the smooth and uninterrupted operation of the factory. Any time they need to send an engineer from Korea or need to have inspections etc their workers are at risk of detainment. Even if they had a100% American workforce which is unlikely, they’d need to send staff from Korea every now and then. The US just told them there are better countries to operate in where such things won’t happen.
I love the way conservatives say they have no problem with legal immigration… Yes you do.
Now good 'ol American automakers can take over and make 'good old boy subpar shitmobiles that no-one outside of USA would ever want, if they were ever even allowed to be sold outside USA since the safety standards are so bad.
Unsafe at any speed.
Still appreciate the fact that Tesla may not sell the Cybertruck in Germany (and probably other countries as well)
unlawful
I mean, it definitely should be, but if some idiot asshole ICE agent thought this Korean was Filipino it seems like our Supreme Court would be ok with this
