    Federal agents raided a massive Hyundai manufacturing site in southeast Georgia on Thursday, where they apprehended roughly 450 illegal immigrants.

    The Atlanta office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives posted on X, "Today, @ATFAtlanta joined HSI, FBI, DEA, ICE, GSP and other agencies in a major immigration enforcement operation at the Hyundai mega site battery plant in Bryan County, GA, leading to the apprehension of

    450 unlawful aliens, emphasizing our commitment to community safety. #ATF."

    "Hyundai Motor Group began manufacturing EVs a year ago at the $7.6 billion plant, which employs about 1,200 people," CBS News noted. The company has also partnered with LG Energy Solution to construct an electric battery factory on the site, which is expected to open in 2026.

    The Department of Homeland Security said a search warrant was utilized "as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into allegations of unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes."

    Hyundai is a South Korean company with a significant global presence.

    "The economic activities of Korean investment companies and the rights and interests of Korean citizens must not be unfairly infringed upon during U.S. law enforcement operations," the South Korean Foreign Ministry responded to the raid, adding:

    We are actively responding to this incident by dispatching the Consul General of the U.S. Embassy in Seoul and the Consulate General in Atlanta to the site and instructing the formation of an on-site response team centered around the local embassy. In Seoul, we also conveyed our concerns and regrets today through the U.S. Embassy in Korea and urged them to exercise extreme caution to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of Korean citizens are not infringed upon.

    HL-GA Battery Company, a joint venture between Hyundai and LG Energy Solution, announced that it was temporarily halting construction.


    The plant's spokesperson, Bianca Johnson, stated, "This did not impact people getting to work. Production and normal office hours had already begun for the day" when authorities shut down access.

    Since President Donald Trump took office in January, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested 66,463 illegal immigrants and removed 65,682; nearly 75% of those have had criminal records, Border Patrol News reported. In the same period, ICE has deported 145,419 illegal immigrants from its detention centers, with the highest total deported in June: 27,970.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
