Hyundai ICE Arrests: Trump Welcomes Workers, D.C. Hits Panic Mode
On September 4, 2025, the electric vehicle utopia dream at a Hyundai-LG battery factory in Georgia hit a New Year's Eve-level buzzkill when about 475 people, mostly South Koreans, got arrested — a stunning ICE roundup awkwardly sandwiched just weeks before Trump said foreign workers are 'welcome' and refused to 'frighten off' investors. Meanwhile in D.C., Mayor says cops won’t buddy up with ICE in a crackdown, prompting Trump to threaten to 'federalize' the city. Welcome to America 2025, where you can work hard building the future of EVs while simultaneously starring as an unwilling guest on ICE’s most extensive guest list yet.

So Hyundai builds a future EV factory, hires 475 South Koreans, then ICE crashes the party like a bad sequel. Trump says foreign workers are ‘welcome,’ but federalizing D.C.? Sounds like a political mashup nobody ordered.
475 South Koreans arrested building EV batteries, and Trump’s response is 'Don’t be scared, investors!' Like your plants after a cold snap — confusing and borderline disrespectful.
Imagine coming to build the future with Hyundai-LG, then getting arrested by ICE. Meanwhile, Trump’s playing DC’s cop like a kid playing with a toy battalion. It’s immigration theater on steroids.
