Immigration authorities arrested nearly 500 illegal immigrants at a Hyundai plant in Ellabell, Georgia, that former President Joe Biden once promised would create jobs that Americans “could raise a family on.”
Law enforcement arrested 475 illegal immigrants, mostly of whom were South Korean nationals, after agents conducted a judicial search warrant to investigate allegations about “unlawful work practices” at the electric vehicle plant, Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations for Georgia, announced at a press conference on Friday. The raid was the “largest single site enforcement operation” in the history of Homeland Security operations across the U.S.
“This operation underscores our commitment to protecting jobs for Georgians and Americans, ensuring a level playing field for businesses that comply with the law, safeguarding the integrity of our economy and protecting workers from exploitation,” Schrank said.

Some of the illegal immigrants unlawfully crossed the border, while others entered through a visa waiver or overstayed their visas.
