🇺🇸 ICE Raid at Hyundai-LG Plant in Georgia Sparks Diplomatic Crisis | Human Rights Concerns & U.S.-Korea Tensions

On September 4th, a large-scale ICE immigration raid at a Hyundai-LG EV battery plant construction site in Ellabell, Georgia led to the detention of 475 foreign workers—including 317 South Korean citizens. What was supposed to be a routine enforcement operation has exploded into a major human rights controversy and a diplomatic crisis between the United States and South Korea.

In this video, I break down:
- What actually happened during the ICE raid
- Allegations of inhumane treatment, including reports of shackling and poor detention conditions
- The rare public backlash from the South Korean government
- The economic stakes—how this impacts a $5.5B EV investment and U.S. industrial policy
- President Donald Trump’s surprising reaction and policy implications
- Why this case could reshape how the U.S. handles foreign investment, labor, and immigration enforcement

📌 This is more than just an immigration issue—it’s a test of how domestic politics can sabotage global partnerships and critical economic priorities.

📰 South Korea is now formally investigating whether human rights violations occurred—potentially demanding compensation, policy reforms, or even apologies. Meanwhile, U.S. allies, businesses, and governors like Brian Kemp are left scrambling to explain how a flagship clean energy project became a geopolitical mess.
