US immigration authorities said on Friday that they had detained 475 people, most of them South Korean nationals, when hundreds of federal agents raided Hyundai’s sprawling manufacturing site in Georgia, where the Korean automaker makes electric vehicles.
The Pew Research Center, citing preliminary Census Bureau data, said the US labour force lost more than 1.2 million immigrants from January through July.
I've seen this article a whole bunch now, and I have yet to see anyone day if these SK workers were even here under false visas or something? They say they haven't been charged, but are they just rounding up "legitimate" immigrant labor now, not even holding to their own flimsy pretense?
or even actual brownness. i have a friend from Ukraine that got called "wetback". worth noting, she's a US citizen. so… you know… look. racists aren't exactly known for their critical thinking skills
Yeah. If you look at what the directives have been from above, it's very very obvious in retrospect that ICE would be just wandering around arresting people completely at random, because they will literally get in trouble if they do literally anything else.
Some of the detainees had entered the country unlawfully, while others arrived on temporary visas or through a waiver program that does not allow employment, according to Steven Schrank, the lead Georgia agent of Homeland Security Investigations.
Attorney Charles Kuck, who represents two detained workers, told AP his clients arrived under the visa waiver program and were in the country legally for tourism or business. He said one had been in the U.S. for only two weeks and the other for 45 days, both planning to return home soon.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson Lindsay Williams told AP that some individuals were detained due to prior criminal records and added, "Once citizens have identified themselves, we have no authority" to detain them. Hyundai stated Friday that it believed none of its direct employees were among those detained and said it was reviewing its practices to ensure legal compliance by contractors and subcontractors.
Using falsely visas is SK's fault, but raiding $7.6 billion plant with excessive force is too much. They could have given a warning and time to clear up the visa paperwork beforehand, but they didn't.
Appreciate the context. Still feels excessive, but at least more warranted than a lot of their other activities. I really hope they just go after corporations, but I doubt they will.
Hyundai stated Friday that it believed none of its direct employees were among those detained and said it was reviewing its practices to ensure legal compliance by contractors and subcontractors.
Wow such a typical big corpo move. Hundreds of people working for Hyundai, none employed by them. Legal issues can be punted to contractors, while they review themselves real hard (they promise).
I know this isn't a real source but I know someone who works at this plant and he said most were here on 3 month visit visas.
Essentially they'd be paid back in SK for their 3 months of work and would cycle in and out in rotations.
Out of all the insane raids ICE has conducted, this one is actually quite a big find since it's Hyandai essentially bypassing visa requirements for cheap labor.
Most likely ICE isn't sure whether to charge the immigrant workers or fine Hyandai since Hyandai is the one that offered them jobs and told them the process of working under a visit visa.
I think they will likely get deported without any criminal charges or individual fines, but will obviously get blacklisted from any future entrance into the US.
I am deeply skeptical of your story. This is the kind of thing that's super-easy to prove, and I feel like if they were finding real immigration fraud at this plant, they would be half-likely to actually try to enforce against it since that was exactly what they did the raid for and it would have been detected in 2 seconds once they started checking IDs. And even if not, it would be half-likely that that aspect of the story would leak to the press in some form at some point.
The whole thing where your phone autocorrected a real word to a totally nonexistent word makes me further skeptical of the whole thing. I won't say either is impossible, but they both seem unlikely.
It seems plausible to me. Large corporations doing weird stuff are nothing new. I don't know how much they'd save by doing this, and it's obviously not worth it, especially these days, but I can certainly see them entertaining the idea, or implementing it. Unlikely as it is.
ice is only mostly going after immigrants that are only in one place, the allegedled undocumented or illegals, are probably not going to be working in such public areas.
I've gotten along all my life without driving. There's disadvantages, of course, but there are also advantages like not having to worry about finding a parking space
For those who were curious, "home" means South Korea, not their homes they made in the US.
Also there's this:
Lee’s government even promised at least $50bn of investments during his recent meeting with Trump, a gesture that resulted only in a “crackdown” against South Korean citizens.
Yeah, honestly, Trumpian fascism will only make China look good in the eyes of many. Recent surveys in Europe already showed more favourable view towards China than US as Trump regime unravels. South Korea and Europe might invest on China instead.
I have already said it months ago that China will use the Trump shenanigans as PR coup. Beijing is already offering itself as the more reliable free trade partner than the US.
I would be a little bit surprised if the people in charge of high-level trade are that simple-minded.
China was already a great reliable trade partner. They have other issues as does any nation, but attractiveness for trade wasn't really one of them, they were already pretty bangin' in that regard, and the US losing its status as a good investment doesn't suddenly mean that Chinese markets will become always a safe investment by default. I feel like these narratives like "trade relations = loyalty and friendship, there can be only one favorite nation-crush" are sort of for public consumption.
I would be a little bit surprised if the people in charge of high-level trade are that simple-minded.
Their changing in business patterns shows it's the very opposite of them being simple-minded:
I business terms, the biggest negative that the Trump Administration added to Trading in and with the US and US-based Suppliers and Customers is uncertainty - you never know when they're going to do something that fucks up your business: in other words, Trump made the Risk around doing business in America or with US-based companies and customers far higher.
Risk is one of the biggest considerations in evaluating business plans and the more competent and professional a company's management is the more likely they'll do thorough evaluations of any business prospects, something which always includes risk considerations. In fact an entire Industry exists dedicated to manage such risks: the Finance Industry.
Only shitty shit little companies rely of the "gut feelings" of the business owner to evaluate business opportunities.
So yeah, in business plan models all over the World, anything which directly or indirectly can be influenced by the actions of the American Administration just got a big chunk of Risk added, whilst no such thing was added to such plans involving other countries, hence doing business with America is now less appealing that doing business with other countries, in a very direct way.
My expectation is that for most countries even the Tariffs themselves (which for most aren't all that scary) haven't as much impact in making America less attractive for business than the sheer unpredictability of the US Administration.

Israel’s foreign minister branded a recent international push to recognise Palestinian statehood a “mistake” on Sunday and warned it could trigger an unspecified unilateral response, after reports that Israel plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.
Several countries, including France and Britain, have pledged to recognise a Palestinian state on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly this month.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Sunday that moves by the UK, France and other countries to recognise a Palestinian state was a “tremendous mistake” that would make it harder to reach peace in the Middle East.
"If you do this performative and largely symbolic action, we are going to genocide even harder."
WHAT THE FUCK!? Bernie had a rally in Chicago yesterday and I tuned in on YouTube just as he said, "And we should not give one more NICKEL to Israel..." Well said, Mr. Sanders. It's horrible that this genocide is happening, it makes me complicit that it's being done in my name.
It is existential that the powers that enabled Israel to be insulated sever such a relationship with Israel or be ousted from power by internal unrest. That pattern is developing all over the world, people in general don't want genocide to happen it turns out.
Are they saying it might make them start treating Palestinians badly, killing them and stealing their land? What is this threat of "unilateral decisions" supposed to be that Israel hasn't done or doesn't plan to do anyway?
Seems like an after-the-fact "look who you made me genocide!"
Following through on the plans would make it “harder to get to the peace”, he added.
“It will destabilise the region. It will push Israel also to have unilateral decisions.”
Odd. The perpetrator that refuse to reach any long term peace and is currently destabilising the middle east, and also taking unilateral action on annexing west bank and later gaza, are now saying it's harder to get peace, will destabilising middle east, and will take unilateral decision.
Is this person perhaps time traveller that doesn't aware of what their country is doing for the past decades?
for those who are confused, he means as opposed to what they're doing now, which is ask Palestinians if it's ok to genocide them and i assume they say "have at it, hoss".
Crust is the server running the latest development version of Piefed. I think it uses a different database and the user authentication isn't connected, so you'd need to register a new account. (Unless I'm mistaken with the details, but I don't think I am.)
Like Blaze mentioned, it's a whole different instance, running a different, experimental version of the code. It's the instance we use for testing features for the next version of piefed.
If you want to make an account, feel free to register (I try to check registrations often). However, due to its testing nature, it might be a bit unstable and could not play nice with some mobile apps.
It is also home to a traditional Bedouin community, the Jebeleya tribe. Already the tribe, known as the Guardians of St Catherine, have had their homes and tourist eco-camps demolished with little or no compensation. They have even been forced to take bodies out of their graves in the local cemetery to make way for a new car park.

There's a massive backlog of awesome stuff that really needs to be released so I'll be doing that within the next week or two.
Along with that there have been several small changes to the API, mostly just fields being renamed. wjs018 has been posting to this community about them as he goes, please take a look if you haven't already. We have two swagger docs available, the automatically-updated one that includes all the changes at crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/… and the old one at freamon.github.io/piefed-api/
There is a new endpoint at crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/… which will tell you which version the instance is running on. You can get the same information at crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/… but /version is lighter on the server so please use that where possible.
Snark aside, my local library actually does offer digital access for those that want to use a phone or eReader as their primary consumption method. You should check if yours offers the same! Any effort that gets people reading and thinking is a good thing, in my mind.
One of the more frustrating things to me with Lemmy is seeing the same post like seven times. I was thinking maybe there should be an option to long press the crossposts drop-down to get a context menu with the option to mark them all as read. This way they could all be hidden from the feed.
Over the past year, more than 1 million people have flocked to the central Italian town of Assisi, where Acutis’s body – covered in a wax mould of his likeness and dressed in his blue tracksuit top, jeans and trainers – is on view behind a glass-panelled case in Santa Maria Maggiore church. His heart is in a gold casket in the town’s San Rufino cathedral, while pieces of tissue from his pericardium – the membrane enclosing the heart – have toured the world in the lead-up to his canonisation.
