@koryodynasty
1/ A repatriated Korean worker from the Hyundai-LG battery factory secretly wrote a detention diary about their 7-day experience in ICE custody in Georgia. The worker says ICE officers mocked them with words like as "North Korea" and "Rocket Man" despite holding a business visa.
[Quoted tweet]
BREAKING: The 300+ Korean workers who were detained in last week's ICE raid at the Hyundai-LG battery plant construction site in Georgia have arrived in South Korea, walking out here in the arrivals hall at Incheon International Airport.

@koryodynasty
2/ The worker held a B1 visa for a 2-month work meetings and training trip. They were body-searched while wearing hard hat and safety boots at 10am on 4 September. ICE gave arrest warrant forms at 1:20pm with no explanation and no Miranda rights were read.

@koryodynasty
3/ "The workers thought that completing the forms would lead to release," the worker wrote, which was shared with Yonhap News. Red wristbands were placed on workers after they submitted forms. They secretly messaged his family saying "contact might be cut off".

@koryodynasty
4/ Workers were handcuffed with cable ties, and some were chained at the waist, legs, and wrists. Transport vehicles had toilets inside with a strong urine odour, and there was no air conditioning provided during the journey to the detention facility.
[Quoted tweet]
These images of the mainly Korean workers being chained by ICE in full restraints including wrists, belly, and ankles are pretty nuts.

@koryodynasty
5/ Workers were initially housed in a 72-person room with bunks, 4 shared toilets and 2 urinals. There were no clocks or outside view. Mattresses had mould on them. The provided water smelled bad. No basic supplies were initially provided to the detainees. Poor conditions at Georgia detention center raise alarm for detained S. Korean workers - The Korea Times

@koryodynasty
6/ It was so cold that some detainees heated towels in the microwave to warm themselves. The worker secretly obtained a pen and paper on day 4 to begin writing his detention diary. The formal intake process was only completed on day 4. 분노로 쓴 美구금일지…B1비자 근로자에 "노스코리아" 조롱도 | 연합뉴스

@koryodynasty
7/ During their 6 September ICE interview, officers asked if they were from "South Korea". When they confirmed, "the officers smirked and mentioned North Korea and Rocket Man". The worker wrote being angry but restrained themselves.

@koryodynasty
8/ When they asked why they were arrested despite legal B1 entry, the ICE officer replied: "I don't know either, but the people above think it's illegal." Some ICE officers admitted to other detainees that ICE had made mistakes, according to the diary.
9/37
@koryodynasty
9/ On 7 September, 4 officials from the Korean Consulate General and Foreign Ministry met the detainees. The consulate reportedly told workers: "Getting home first is the most important thing. Sign whatever they ask you to sign unconditionally."
10/37
@koryodynasty
10/ The Korean officials warned that disputes could mean detention for anything from 4 months to several years. They informed detainees that signing would mean forced removal, visa cancellation, and a charter flight home. More ministry officials visited on 8 September.
11/37
@koryodynasty
11/ The worker wrote: "I was angry that they seemed unable to understand why B-1 visa entry was considered illegal" and was frustrated at their focus on "sending us out." Workers were told to sign "voluntary departure" documents filled with language about being "illegal".
12/37
@koryodynasty
12/ Release came on 11 September at 1am when buses departed for Atlanta airport, leaving what Yonhap described as a "hell-like detention facility." 분노로 쓴 美구금일지…B1비자 근로자에 "노스코리아" 조롱도 | 연합뉴스

Dude, B-1 doesn’t allow working on a construction site.
But be all incensed
Might want to investigate what Singapore did when this happened there.

@markcutis
The strong-arm tactics of ICE are, sadly, more reminiscent of third-rate countries that seem to relish harassing people than of a confident America. That said, the Reuters reporting is clear: Korean companies had already been warned not to take liberties with B-1 and ESTA visas. So we cannot condone the spectacle of mass detentions, we also have to admit that Korean firms should have drawn a line earlier. They should have told Wash. flat-out: we won’t build your plants or finish your projects until you provide the proper visas.

A business visa doesn’t allow one to actually work in another country. They are issued to people for trade shows, conferences and meetings. If they were doing actually work like assembly, construction, etc., then they were in violation of their business visas.

Hope Korea reneges on the plant and the promised investments. Yes, there will be hits for blacks if this happens, but way more for whites and I'm cool with that. White people need their hoe card pulled.
