On-shore manufacturing requires an on-shore workforce. I’m wondering how this will sit with any company that wants to invest in on-shore manufacturing. I mean, what’s the big picture here?

discuss

order

Factory workers are easy targets compared with actual criminals. So ICE goes after them to meet their quotas. It could also be that the Hyandai executives weren't contributing enough to the right parties so had to be made an example of. Could be both.

You can also just do it by the book and get proper l1-b visas or have them performing duties not categorized as work such as training, consulting local staff, etc (not a legal advice). Or you can do what they allegedly did and see where that gets you.

Also if they were cutting corners on this what else did they cut corners on?

the picture is that these workers must have been in the US under a completly above board legal framework to build out a battery plant and presumably they are a specialised ,experienced work force, under contract, Korea right, one of the most orderly countrys on the planet, rich too, tell them to go home, they go home

so this must be a contrived way to eliminate competition, after all of the contracts were signed. reputational damage to the US is incalculable and a strategic retreat by all other countrys becomes likely these people came with there familys, were detained at work, with there kids comming home from school to no parents full tilt, psycho freak move

If they were all working on b1/b2 visas (like actually setting up lines and doing other work and not just training locals) as this source is claiming[0] it’s a clear violation and slam dunk case. They will be deported and barred entry for like 10 years. Also these laws were on the books since forever just hard to enforce unless someone is being completely obvious which seems to be the case here
