South Koreans head home from more LGES US battery sites after raid, sources say

A good example to deter any other non-US companies from building factories in the US. American companies are reluctant as well, because Trump is completely unstable and unpredictable, and he could cancel the tariffs any moment, so they won't be investing billions in the construction of factories which could become worthless in a second.

all due to a maga lady trying to get elected in that area.

Not even that. That raid was in Georgia but now workers in Tennessee are leaving. Who would blame them tbh.
- Idk why anyone who isn't a white American-born citizen would step foot in that country.
  Though that is probably the point.

Am I missing something context? The article talks about Korean workers being sent home because they have the wrong visa. Did they vote for this?

The US rounded up hundreds of Koreans who were overseeing the construction of a new factory a week or two ago. They had the correct visas for their roles but were held for more than a week. Trump said they could stay but they left because nobody wants to stay in a dangerous, fascist hellhole like the US. Now Korean companies and workers are pulling entirely out of the US and cutting plans and investments. FAFO.
- who were overseeing the construction of a new factory
  That is a good meal for the leopards indeed.
- They had the correct visas
  A few did, the rest did not. ICEs theatrics aside.

  Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations in Georgia and Alabama, said at a Sept. 5 press conference that the arrested workers crossed the U.S. border illegally, violated or overstayed their visas, or had entered the United States under a visa waiver program that prohibited them from working.
  Immigration lawyer Charles Kuck told PolitiFact he is representing 12 of the detained people, some of whom are Korean. He said some of his clients entered the United States using either a business visa or the visa waiver program that South Korea participates in. These programs allow people to legally enter the country for a limited time and perform specific business activities. But people can’t work or be paid by U.S. companies while under these immigration statuses.
  South Korean leaders, including President Lee Jae Myung, have denounced the raid, calling it "unjust infringements on the activities of our people and businesses."
  Which is a shitty excuse for not having the correct visa. If the US.government won't issue visas don't come.
  Hyundai deliberatly endangered the.welfare of their employees by having them break the law. Getting away.with it for a few years by nudge nudge wink wink looking the other way is also pathetic.
  So.lets see what Soith Korea's stance is about working in South Korea on the wrong visa ?
- They had the correct visas for their roles
  Most didn't actually, they were here on essentially visit visas working for the setup stint and getting paid back home in SK. Hyundai says they did it to skirt around the US's poor short term labor policies, some say Hyundai did it for cheaper SK labor in spinning up the factory, and ICE says they did it because boogey man evil foreign entity garbage.
  Regardless, I wouldn't stick around for a second shot no matter how many guarantees Trump is offering, since he flip flops on a minute basis, and was likely completely aware of the planned ICE operation. Hyundai might just try to recruit new workers from SK if Trump allows, but I'm sure not many if any are going to take that offer after this fiasco.
Americans voted to 'make America great again' and now people who are capable of setting up manufacturing in USA are leaving or hesitant to go there.
The state just fucked itself is the angle I assume.
