Yep! But this isn't a "car run over becuase of a pencil" situation.
This is a federal overreach on a business that has broken major labor laws in the US.
And that's why I'm a bit miffed. In all this discuss about ICE's overreach, we are ignoring the very real and persistent disdain Hyundai America has for labor regulations.
It's almost like (rightful) opposition to ICE's overreach is being used to whitewash what is a very very bad employer.
In Korean business and political discourse, the anger isn't about the humanitarian aspect, but the "how dare they even try to do this to us because we have put in so much money".
Being angry about ICE because of overreach and treating labor bad is valid, but feeling slighted that money doesn't buy impunity is not a good reason to be annoyed, and betrays a level of callousness that is sadly all to common in Korea Inc.
