A massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia, the largest in US history, has sparked outrage in South Korea and among US business leaders. The raid, targeting 475 workers including many South Koreans, halted construction and caused South Korean firms to limit US business travel. Business groups warn the raid chills investment and dampens economic activity, urging President Trump to shift from enforcement to immigration system fixes. While Trump acknowledged visa concerns and said foreign investment is welcome, a top official indicated more raids are coming, highlighting ongoing tensions between the administration's pro-business rhetoric and aggressive immigration policies.
