Exclusive: critics accuse ICE of ‘outrageous’ and ‘unlawful’ detention of Korean man

At least one of the Korean workers swept up in a massive immigration raid on a Hyundai Motor factory site in Georgia last week was living and working legally in the US, according to an internal federal government document obtained by the Guardian.

Officials then “mandated” that he agree to be removed from the US despite not having violated his visa.

The document shows that immigration officials are aware that someone with a valid visa was among the people arrested during the raid at the Hyundai factory and taken to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention for removal proceedings, where the people arrested remained on Tuesday before expected deportation flights back to South Korea.

    I think you are being victim of the boiling frog effect.

    Do you want to be pedantic and wait until the mass graves are discovered years after thebfact? Or do you see the escalating signs that they are going exactly in that direction?

    Right now they are already disappearing people. They are already following the totalitarian regime playbook and history has shown exactly where it leads to.

    By the way, remove the wool over your eyes, it’s not like the US doesn’t know the totalitarian regime playbook. They’ve used it many times in other countries to install puppet governments. The only difference is that they are doing it now at home.
