Yeah man they ain’t coming back. This is going to be one of the biggest foreign policy blunders of my lifetime, and it’s entirely possible that some guy at ICE ordered it not having any clue what he was doing. This is why we used to leave foreign affairs to sensitive nerds.
Chances are approximately 100% that the only reason the Koreans are not immediately divesting from America is they know Trump will hit all Korean imports with 200% tariffs if they do.
Trump himself said they deserved it. You can’t walk back your own despot.
Indicative of how clueless Donnie and his Ghoulliannis are. These people are pathologically sociopathic
Is this just coming out now that they're home and can speak freely? 😮
The only disadvantage they would experience is returning to the US. They’re NEVER COMING BACK.
And to think, these people were diplomatically sensitive, so this probably represents the most mild version of how people are being treated.
This pretty much matches the description you had from European tourists / visa over stayers . So nah. They i don't think something like this was put in place. These thugs don't bother
Listen to the interview of the NI guy that made the rounds the last couple of days/weeks. They don't care who they snap up . They treat everybody the same and just care for numbers.
I would not be surprised if hyundai cancelled the contract.
There has been a suggestion that it was Trump in a fit of pique So - as dumb as those DHS window lickers are - let’s wait and see how this shakes out.
It’s a complete misfire and will kill industry
It’s the crazy MAGA woman running for that congressional seat! She bragged about starting it right after it happened.
I thought the one crazy white woman who wanted to run for Congress ordered it
She can claim she reported it but I don’t think Congressional aspirants get to order around ICE agents. Someone had to say it was a good idea.
I think we'll be seeing them in Ontario pretty soon.
The Georgia MAGA Republican candidate for House Representative is not only owning it, she is bragging on social media & her official site. This former Marine is proud of reporting the employees & company blissfully thrilled of the outcome. MAGA.
All in service to tRump's bloated ego.
Did you see the press conference after? These people are so fucking ignorant and stupid, it's mind blowing. Most of the commenters are dumb as dirt too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShTU...
Maybe it’s a blunder, maybe it’s a favor. Either way someone just cleared the field for Musk on EV/battery competitors. “Korean workers at Spring Hill factory leave U.S. following immigration raid in Georgia” www.tennessean.com/story/money/... www.freep.com/story/money/...
Has broader security implications in relation to the ROK/US alliance and, if not handled correctly, potential non-proliferation. Because if you can't trust the Americans and the Japanese are your historical enemies and you have a nutter with nukes over the border then you are going to feel twitchy
Stephen miller, Kristi Noem, the border czar
Trump hates anything in the renewables space (and the oil industry has incentivized him to lean into that) and LG Energy is a competitor of Tesla’s. I suspect this wasn’t just field level Fascist morons free styling.
Didn’t they claim it was one of the largest raids ever? Seems like Noem at least would have known about it because she has to arrange the Fox hits.
Insert Homer Simpson meme 'of your lifetime, so far' here...
So much for onshoring manufacturing jobs lol
The rule of law is so important for doing business, you guys
I’ve tried to explain this to my one PE buddy and it has simply not computed which says so much about so many things.
there's no way they actually bother taking them off those lists.
Huh yeah this is somehow worse than you think
Diplomatic & business relations killed by dumb shit that would get a 6th grader sent home from school. We're cooked.
SO much worse
This isn’t going to help
"I have the best words" ..his broken thoughts made sense before he finished speaking. Words they liked, fell like gumdrops into the voids of saccharine sentences already formed in their deserted minds. Perpetually imperfect roads fortold a candied 🏠. Starving, they rushed into the wolven forest..
We used to build a ship A DAY! And then the fucking commies happened.
This either went through 28 edits or zero
I’m going to go with 28, because it uses “disincentivize”

The fundamental problem with Trump on foreign affairs is that he has the same level of understanding as the average American, zero desire to learn, and he’s surrounded himself with people who share his views. You have to be willing to wonder why things work this way, because they do for a reason.
Just wait until they get around to the Nissan plants in Tennessee, I’m sure they’ll treat Japanese guests with the same great respect.
He has the natural hatred of foreigners that is the American birthright.
The average American understands that Putin is not our friend.
Even when he gets sanitized by his handlers he sounds like a fucking brain damaged moron at best.
Jfc
TOTES sorry about the human rights violations...
What the actual fuck are those conditions?! Holy shit. Outrageous.
Their clue was only thinking of that big fat bonus check for bringing in 300 “units”.
Since no one will stop the stupidity, I hope this administration gets to feel the full effects of their hateful and illegal actions. Like Georgia losing an entire factory and hundreds of jobs because ICE is too racist to follow the law. Hope this tanks that woman's election run but who knows.
"This is going to be one of the biggest foreign policy blunders of my lifetime" I have faith that they can still find a way to do worse 🫠
they are endlessly creative in that regard
So given that their words are meaningless and no one will trust them or value their promises, it’s only a matter of time before some of our diplomats get caught just straight up bribing people right? Give it what, six months? A year?
I regret the Secretary of State is the Secretary of State…
a world where trump apologized in some public way we could recover from this one but uh... not holding my breath
has there been a single press question on this?
