Foreign media reported last night (September 6) that a Hyundai Motor factory in Georgia, the United States, was raided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on September 5, resulting in the arrest of 475 people. Most of them were Korean workers who had overstayed their visas in the United States. After the video was exposed, it triggered criticism from the South Korean public. This largest-scale immigration raid and arrest operation by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is likely to worsen the relationship between the United States and South Korea.
???????? The South Korean government stated that Korean companies operating in the United States must not infringe upon the rights of South Korean citizens, and pointed out that after the immigration raid on the Hyundai Motor factory in Georgia, "many" South Korean citizens were detained. The South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that more than 300 of them were South Korean citizens.
[Smart] Comments: How much worse can it get? Can a dog bite its master? This move by the United States is more about its own law enforcement operations, which, although not considering the feelings of South Korea, ultimately means that South Korean companies in the United States can only complain a little. However, South Korea should also be clear-minded, while safeguarding the rights of its citizens, it should re-examine the boundaries and risks of cooperation with the United States.
