U.S. immigration authorities conducted a major crackdown on undocumented workers at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solution factory construction site in Georgia, resulting in the arrest of approximately 300 Koreans. This enforcement action is interpreted as reflecting the U.S. government's position of simultaneously promoting foreign business investment while prioritizing job protection for its citizens. In particular, concerns are being raised about the need for Korean companies to reinvestigate their local hiring practices in the United States. Additionally, there are concerns that this incident could impact diplomatic relations between South Korea and the United States.
