Koreans detained in Georgia battery plant raid preparing class action lawsuit against ICE

The workers were in detention for a week; they were mistreated, cut off from the outside, and were kept in harsh and degrading conditions with no privacy to use the toilets.

Roughly 200 workers, including a man identified as Kim, are accusing ICE of unlawful detention, racial profiling, human rights violations and excessive use of force. The raid targeted a joint Hyundai Motor—LG Energy Solution EV battery factory under construction near Savannah, Georgia.

The taxpayer has to pay to defend them, pay the settlements, and still pay their salary and pensions because there’s no consequences for people in power.
