ICE released video of Korean workers in Georgia’s Hyundai/ LG plant being rounded up. Stunning to say the least. pic.twitter.com/79BJQEGn2d
— Jake Kwon (@therealjakekwon) September 6, 2025
This news is being received with shock and outrage in South Korea. The raid came only days after Korea’s president visited Trump at the White House. While the govt is scrambling to resolve the issue, the opposition is calling it a national humiliation.

1/ Something that's not being reported much re: ICE crackdown at Hyundai-LG Georgia battery factory: Korean companies investing billions cannot get proper visas, are then criminalised for bringing skilled workers to fill gaps American labour cannot.

Sentiment is one of betrayal. https://t.co/r3q1mZrMvA
It's stunning, and I think underappreciated, how significant the impact of this raid will have in foreign investment into American manufacturing.

Another example of US strategy being drawn and quartered by ad-hoc policies pulling in different, incoherent directions. https://t.co/iyGiSRA0YW
Foreign companies are meant to begin manufacturing in the US, but there is not an existing worker base with the skills necessary, skilled workers are not granted visas and then people who come to help are detained like this:https://t.co/hBtUxtzvdO

So how?
Happening now: smelled a chemical smell wafting from the parking lot, went to check it out. It's Chicago ICE agents unwrapping and assembling a stack of fresh riot shields.

@latimes BurnBot is a huge, Zamboni-like vehicle that executes precisely controlled burns of flammable grass alongside buildings and roadways. It's designed to create fire breaks — lines of charred land — that keep flames from spreading. When plants do grow back, instead of invasive, combustible grasses, it's typically native, more fire-resistant vegetation.
