Trump Says He Was ‘Very Much Opposed’ to ICE Raid at Hyundai Plant

President Donald Trump said Monday he was “very much opposed” to the immigration raid at a Hyundai electric vehicle plant in Georgia last month after an operation that saw hundreds of South Korean workers detained and sent home.

Nearly 500 employees were arrested during the Sept. 4 raid at Hyundai Motor Group’s facility in Ellabell, Georgia. Workers were sat on the factory floor as officers shackled their legs in scenes that caused outrage in South Korea, where the government scrambled to secure the workers’ release. They were eventually flown home on a chartered flight after urgent negotiations.

He could have prevented that debacle, but he is so out of touch that he probably didn't even know about it.

1. Too late asshole.

21. The unbridled asshole micromanages everything but this was beyond his control?

[unblock]

2. He's only opposed to it because it got bad press

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. And only now bc he has to talk to SKorea and the Phillipines. . . . nt

[Takket]

3. Another example of how he really has no idea what is going on.

ICE is rounding up anyone they can get their hands on. The Hyundai disaster is just an example of a lot of ICE barbarism packed into one event. But this is happening every day.

4. Well then, shouldn't ICE Barbie be fired?

I mean, who's in charge asshole?

6. Trump is supposed to be in charge, but it looks like he isn't.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. He's in charge of selecting drapes for the Epstein Ballroom. And the skimpy outfits of the serving girls. . . nt

[durablend]

5. Bullshit

He was praying for a mass massacre

[Irish_Dem]

7. Trump probably ordered it, but now has to walk it back due to bad PR.

8. Why are they even bothering to question him

on anything? He never has anything of value to say, he lies and fantasizes and rambles. Again, won't one of these people, just one, ask him "what the hell are you friggin talking about?"???

As Jeff Tiedrich points out, that simple question would merit an annual recurring Pulitzer Prize, and would be viewed as investigative journalism on a par with any work by Woodward/Bernstein or Sy Hersh.

9. "They were illegal aliens, and ICE was just doing its job" - Trump, 5th Sept

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj6xe5d6103o

"We had, as I understand it, a lot of illegal aliens, some not the best of people - but we had a lot of illegal aliens working there. Look, they're doing their job, that's what they have to do .These are people who came with Biden. They came through illegally into our country, so we have to do our job."

Not a sign of "opposition" in the reply (video at the link)

14. Melania obtained her citizenship illegally

Elon Musk obtained his citizenship illegally.

We gotta do what we gotta do!

I would LOVE to see Melania wrestled to the pavement and zip tied outside of Tiffanys.

10. He likes cruelty more than he likes getting his way

[marble falls]

12. He can tear down the WH on a whim, bomb boats with no consultation with Congress - but he couldn't ...

... stop the raid on Hyundai.

That lying sack of shit.

[travelingthrulife]

13. Just got done having discussions with S Korea so this is what he remembers

He needs them now because all of his trade deals are fantasy.

[tinrobot]

15. That's admitting he's not in control of the government

If he was opposed, why did it happen?

Who's running the government?

[republianmushroom]

16. The felon seems to want it both ways and selective.

[Initech]

17. When we get back in power, the Heritage Foundation needs to be permanently banned from DC forever.

Fuck this evil, psychopathic organization and everyone that works for them!

[Jbraybarten]

18. He's only saying that because of how much he fucked it up, or is unaware of what his people are doing which is as bad.
