In a recent announcement, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem addressed the significant immigration raid that took place at a Hyundai factory in Georgia, where a total of 475 workers were detained, over 300 of whom were South Korean. Despite the backlash and feelings of betrayal from many in South Korea, Noem expressed confidence that such actions would not dissuade investment in the U.S. economy. Speaking at a conference with ministers from allied countries, she portrayed the American stance on immigration as clear and determined, which could enhance business confidence. Noem has urged foreign companies to follow U.S. laws and promote hiring local citizens, reinforcing the notion that lawful operations are beneficial for both the companies and the U.S. economy. The detained workers, primarily apprehended for ignoring removal orders, are expected to be deported soon. The discussions among international ministers, aimed at combating unauthorized migration, showcased a commitment to enhance border protections, although varying approaches to immigration policy continue to spark debate.
