Looks like South Korea is the latest target of #45/47's wrath.
Hundreds Arrested in Immigration Raid at Hyundai Site in Georgia
Hundreds of people including South Korean workers were arrested in an immigration raid at a Hyundai Motor battery plant under construction in Georgia, weeks after the carmaker pledged $26 billion in U.S. investments.
South Korea protested the action to the U.S. and said it was trying to secure the release of its citizens.

The raid and arrests come after months of tense negotiations between the U.S. and South Korea over tariffs and investment. In late July, the two countries agreed that a 15% tariff rate would be imposed on South Korean imports in exchange for South Korea investing $350 billion in the U.S.
The factory is being built by a joint venture between South Korea-based Hyundai Motor and a South Korean battery manufacturer, LG Energy Solution. It is located in the town of Ellabell, near Savannah, Ga., and is part of a $7.6 billion Hyundai complex that the state has described as the largest manufacturing project in Georgia’s history.

The deal to build the plant must've been struck during the Biden administration, so #45/47 will do anything to destroy it.
