1. Redadas y Detenciones Masivas.
Las redadas de ICE en las plantas de Hyundai en Georgia resultaron en la detención de cientos de inmigrantes, generando controversia y preocupación sobre el trato a los trabajadores y el impacto en la economía local.
- "hundreds of undocumented immigrants apprehended in massive ice raid at hyundai plant in georgia".
- "475 immigrants arrested in raid of hyundai ev plant in georgia".

2. Estatus Legal y Derechos de los Inmigrantes.
Se cuestionó el estatus legal de los inmigrantes detenidos, con acusaciones de que muchos tenían visas válidas o estaban trabajando legalmente en el país, lo que generó dudas sobre la justificación de las redadas.
- "legal immigrants targeted in hyundai ice raid leaked ice documents show at least one detained hyundai factory worker had a valid visa—and was coerced into 'voluntary' deportation.".
- "immigration lawyers said that most of the workers were here with permission. The 300 korean workers who were building the plant for hyundai’s subcontractors were under the impression they were here legally, kuck said.".
- "arrested 400 'illegal' immigrants? lies.".
3. Impacto en las Relaciones con Corea del Sur.
Las redadas generaron tensiones diplomáticas con Corea del Sur, cuyo gobierno expresó preocupación por el trato a sus ciudadanos y el impacto en las inversiones de empresas coreanas en Estados Unidos.
- "trump reacts to major ice raid at hyundai plant newyou can now listen to fox news articles! president donald trump said sunday that while u.s. Immigration and customs enforcement (ice) was right to arrest south korean immigrants working illegally at a hyundai battery plant in georgia, the u.s.…".

- "president of south korea promises support for immigrants arrested in operation at a us factory".
4. Implicaciones Económicas y Políticas.
Se debatieron las motivaciones políticas detrás de las redadas, con acusaciones de que estaban dirigidas a perjudicar proyectos de energía limpia y al gobernador de Georgia, además de generar temor entre los inmigrantes.
- "they raided a hyundai plant. 100% positive they were just immigrants (and not illegal) just like the majority of hispanic people they’ve rounded up".
- "this wasn’t about immigrants, they were here to provide assistance in getting the plant up & running. More like retribution against governor kemp since this plant was a biden clean energy project and jobs were for local workers in georgia once operational.".
- "the plant was supposed to bring jobs to “americans” … not illegal immigrants. Interestingly, hyundai is a korean company and the illegal aliens they hired were korean … almost looks intentional.".
5. El Debate sobre la Contratación de Inmigrantes.
Se planteó la cuestión de la responsabilidad de Hyundai y otras empresas en la contratación de inmigrantes indocumentados, así como la necesidad de abordar las prácticas laborales y la explotación de los trabajadores.
- "hundreds arrested in immigration raid at hyundai plant site in georgia - usa today and when will cooperate exec and other management be charged with violating labor laws? the same old story:construction,service, and agri business wink at the law as they knowingly hire immigrants. Share holders know.".
- "how can a huge international company like hyundai employ 475 people illegally, but nobody in that company is responsible, or will be held accountable? our economy is built in part on exploiting immigrants for profit.".
- "hard to imagine a company like hyundai hiring undocumented immigrants directly.".
