Federal agents recently conducted a large-scale operation at a Hyundai battery plant construction site in Commerce, Georgia. Authorities detained approximately 475 individuals during the raid, marking the largest operation in Homeland Security history.
The arrests involved undocumented immigrants working at the site, raising concerns about labor practices and immigration enforcement. Hyundai has confirmed the incident and stated they are cooperating with the investigation, emphasizing their commitment to legal compliance.
