US President Donald Trump called on foreign companies to strictly comply with the country's immigration laws following a raid conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Georgia. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He emphasized the importance of creating jobs for American citizens. In his statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump demanded that foreign investors operating in the US legally hire workers and train them to be skilled.
The president noted that investing in the United States is beneficial, but reminded that compliance with immigration laws is necessary. He asked all foreign companies to respect US laws and to hire American workers.
On September 5, ICE units conducted a large-scale raid at the Hyundai-LG factory in Georgia, which produces electric car batteries. According to media reports, about 450 people were detained during this raid, over 300 of whom were South Korean citizens.
South Korean officials expressed concern about this action by the US and emphasized that the rights of their citizens should not be violated. Lee Che Woon, spokesperson for the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demanded that the activities of investors in the US and the protection of citizens' rights be ensured.
Additionally, the South Korean presidential administration announced that negotiations on the repatriation of detainees have been completed and that a special plane has been sent to the US to take them back once the necessary official procedures are fulfilled.
