Federal agents arrest hundreds at Hyundai plant construction site in Georgia

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) announced the arrest of 475 illegal migrants during a major immigration enforcement raid on Thursday at a Hyundai electric car battery factory in Georgia. 

HSI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge Steven Schrank noted that while the raid was at a Hyundai facility, not all the migrants worked for the parent company. Some worked for subcontractors at the site.

"We are sending a clear and unequivocal message that those who exploit our workforce, undermine our economy and violate federal laws will be held accountable," Schrank said during a news conference on Friday.
