Hundreds of federal officers descended on a small southeast Georgia community and raided the Hyundai Metaplant – arresting 475 people in the largest sweep yet in the current Trump administration’s immigration crackdown at US worksites.

Previously, federal officials estimated 450 people were apprehended Thursday at the enormous site in Ellabell, about 25 miles west of Savannah, Georgia.

The majority are Korean nationals, said Steven Schrank, a Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge. Schrank said he did not have a breakdown of the arrestees’ nationalities.

3. Serious question - is Noem planning to arrest all visa and green card holders...

And arbitrarily "sort them out" that way? People with at least 7-figure money or have celebrity being exempt, of course ...

4. Fine Hyundai a million per illegal employee problem will be solved.

5. "Why do you hate 'Murica?"

Decades ago, we used to do that.

7. You seem very certain that they are all illegal

Do you have proof?

9. I'm saying this issue isn't with the people its with the companies. We wouldn't dare fine the companies only

harrass the hardworking people. This is performative by the Trump admin to show force. Next year it will be business as usual because the people will rebel at the prices of food and goods.

10. It's a battery plant. Duh. Batteries are woke. EVs are gay. Non-coal/oil energy is trans.

Real 'Murcans (TM) drive pickups and SUVs, and the bigger those pickups and SUVs are, the more 'Murcan they are.

If you drive a hybrid or an EV, you hate 'Murca and you probably have . . . pronouns.

And hey, some free Asian-bashing thrown in for good measure to keep the local mouth-breathers happy.
