Outrage, confusion in South Korea after Georgia immigration raid
South Korea pledged to invest $350 billion in the U.S. in a trade deal. Now the country is reeling at actions many see as counter to the spirit of the alliance.

SEOUL — The large-scale immigration raid on a Hyundai-LG battery factory in Georgia has sent shock waves across South Korea, a U.S. security ally that has this year pledged to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the United States and is now balking at what many here view as the Trump administration’s bad-faith actions.

Attorney says detained Korean Hyundai workers had special skills for short-term jobs
He said no company in the U.S. makes the machines that are used in the Georgia plant, so workers had to come from abroad to install or repair equipment.

...

A B-1 visitor for business visa allows foreign workers to stay for up to six months, getting reimbursed for expenses while collecting a paycheck back home. There are limits — for example, they can supervise construction projects but can’t build anything themselves — but if it’s spelled out in a contract, they can install equipment, Los Angeles immigration lawyer Angelo Paparelli said.

Also, South Korea is one of 41 countries whose citizens can use the U.S. Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which provides a visa waiver if they can provide “a legitimate reason’’ for their visit, and this basically gives them B-1 visa status for up to 90 days, said immigration attorney Rita Sostrin in Los Angeles.
It's still pretty fuzzy what exactly was in violation though it's more likely than not that these Korean workers were technically in violation of their B1 (or similar visa) - however the violation likely were also of the type that normally gets swept under the rug (I know plenty of tech workers who travel to US HQs on B1s who totally violate the visa - "meetings" yeah sure).

Regardless, shackling up workers like this is banana republic stuff.

Leaked Ice document shows worker detained in Hyundai raid had valid visa

Exclusive: critics accuse Ice of ‘outrageous’ and ‘unlawful’ detention of Korean man
Info on the women who called ICE.

Quote:

The lady who called ICE on the Hyundai-LG construction site in GA — her TikTok username is “toribranum.”

She is a Georgia Republican running for Congress. She believes she’s justified in her snitching, saying that the Korean companies brought over illegal workers instead of giving jobs to locals, for which the contract awarded Hyundai a $32 million tax cut. She even hired a PI as a secret informant who acted as a union worker who passed her information.
Video of her talking about it.

You still can't work construction with a B1 visa. The correct visa they should have applied for is the H1-B. They were purposely being misleading and cutting corners.

Thousands of jobs down the drain.

let me guess, nicked in the ear and had a photoshoot immediately after, then not a single scar tomorrow.

Harvey Specter 09-10-2025 11:08 AM

Looks like he got shot in the neck.

Manic! 09-10-2025 11:14 AM

Looks like he is dead.

There is a video on threads that's from a distance and another one up close.

Yah, it sounded like a kill shot from a sniper. The dude who shot him is a 60 year old white dude.

unit 09-10-2025 11:28 AM

guy was a shithead, but this shouldnt really sit right with anyone

pastarocket 09-10-2025 11:34 AM

-gonna be interesting to see how Trump responds after an investigation is done about the shooter.

A 60 year old white dude? Is he a Republican? A MAGA? Is he a Democrat supporter?

IF the shooter is identified as a Democrat, is Cheeto going to spin this incident to his advantage to sow more seeds of division in the US? Put the blame of the shooting on Democrats?

If the shooter is a Republican, a MAGA, well, that is different story. LUL

Regardless of whether which party this shooter votes for, political violence is never right.

Capital punishment for this suspect? First degree murder that involves a politician. This guy is gonna get cooked.

I'm well past the notion that, as a Liberal, that I have to take the high road on things while my opponents are a bunch of ghouls. We have plenty of evidence in the last 30 years that this is a loser's strategy and fighting fire with fire is the only way.

If they're going to behave like sub-humans (like bombing a boat in the middle of the ocean) then we need to punch back. That's how revolutions are fought, this is how we defend democracy and human rights.

Charlie Kirk isn't even a good person that deserves our thoughts and prayers - he's a top 100 ghoul. I hope he died and when Trump dies we should celebrate it the same way Iraqis celebrated the death of Saddam.

RevYouUp 09-10-2025 11:47 AM

That’s crazy, what did he to do you that you wanted him dead lol.

Harvey Specter 09-10-2025 12:11 PM

The amount of hate being spewed daily on X probably means we’ll see more of this from both sides and in the meantime Musk keeps pouring fuel on the fire. It’s really sad what society has become.

Manic! 09-10-2025 12:29 PM

The shooter being draged away.

I hope he lives so we can see what his reaction to it is.

This is incredibly low regardless where you sit in the political spectrum. It’s even low for being a human.

Just because you disagree with the political view of someone shouldn’t make you feel the way you stated in your post.

Differences and disagreements are how our society move forward. I’d seriously consider booking a visit with a psychiatrist if I were you.

The hate has consumed you.

Hmmm.

Witness at event says there were no security measures to enter event

From CNN's Taylor Romine

Raydon Dechene, who attended Charlie Kirk’s event at Utah Valley University, said that there were no security measures in place to screen people or even take their tickets.

The event did not have metal detectors and no one checked bags, which Dechene said “felt off” during an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt.


Before the shooting, Dechene said the people at the event were having fun talking and doing chants like “USA.”
