United States immigration authorities have arrested 475 people in a raid on a Hyundai manufacturing site in Georgia, Steve Schrank, a special agent in charge of Homeland Securities Investigations Atlanta, said at a press conference on Friday.
The Hyundai facility, located in Ellabell, Georgia – approximately 30 miles west of Savannah – was raided “as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into allegations of unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes,” according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.
Here is what I don’t understand - why don’t they arrest the board members and executives of such companies?
I mean, if you actually cared about “illegals” working here. Seems it would be much cheaper and much more effective, but this is never done.
Gee, I wonder why?
Hyundai Motor Company owns Kia and Genesis. They gave $1 million to the orange turd’s inauguration fund each.
Not enough. Workers will be relocated to more loyal companies.
“Inauguration fund”
100% straight-ass bribery. Straight into his pockets.

If the charge is unlawful employment practices maybe they should arrest the management instead
Well, good news!
The raid was authorized by a judge-issued search warrant following a monthslong investigation of the facility, Schrank said. The investigation of the worksite remains active, he added, but no charges of wrongdoing have been filed.
…Oh.
Supposedly a few executives from Korea were arrested in the raid. Although I’d guess its not for illegal hiring specifically and only because they are not Americans so got treated like the workers by ICE.
475 people taken into ICE custody
but no charges of wrongdoing have been filed.
I am so very deeply confused.
They can just kidnap people now.
It was in the news and everything.
How do you even kidnap 475 people?
Why do you think so much funding has been thrown at ICE? It’s so they can kidnap people at scale.
475 is a good number that could have fought back. That’s a small army.
475 unarmed folks is nothing to a well armed force. They knew how many they were going to kidnap and they went in with a plan. Y’all armchair warriors are real rah rah when it’s not your life on the line.
Every guy on the sidelines is obligated to pull a Mark Wahlberg
Nobody can conceive of flinching in the face of dozens of heavily armed ICE agents until their time comes.
LOL, Marky Mark.
wtf, it’s like when we are teenagers and have all those scenarios where we save everyone
That is exactly the right wing mentality. That’s what they do constantly. They’re stuck in junior high hero fantasies with their guns. It’s embarrassingly juvenile and just as basic bitch as it gets.
An army has training, organization, and weapons.

If I’d been there, shit would have gone down different.

USA and their car dependency… Here in Europe our Nazis were using trains!
Surely this is a boon for the manufacturing industry /s
I’m pretty sure the UAW doesn’t represent workers in American Hyundai plants and they’ve been trying to. This sounds all too familiar.
I feel for the workers, but fuck Hyundai. They put out vehicles that can be stolen by literal children. Ask me how I know.
You’re gonna have to give a bit more info there.
I’m guessing he’s refering to this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Challenge
