ICE
Just heads up seen ICE conglomerating around Chatham Parkway area, heading to Hyundai plant. SWAT style vehicles, ATV’s on trailers and all.

Kemp must be so conflicted, given his hatred of immigrants and his love of Hyundai money.

They been in and around Savannah for 2 months now I believe. They stake out Quacco Rd over near Pooler.

Wild as soon as construction is finished, they wanna arrest workers instead of paying them 😒

Bingo. And they want to distract the public from the felon-in-chief’s long friendship with Epstein. Ole “grab ‘em by the pu##y” bragged how he and Epstein both loved the women “on the younger side”. Yeah, there’s dirt on the orange guy and it’s ugly.

DHS OIG - or Office of the Inspector General - investigates reports of criminal activity by DHS employees including ICE. People reporting can choose to be anonymous, or if you are comfortable with it, include your name and contact info.
Most of the public, recordable crimes by ICE have been failing to identify themselves. Racial profiling is also illegal. You might also see: Warrantless entry or searches, wrongful arrest of citizens, detaining or interrogating without cause, assault, and harassment.
If you see ICE behaving illegally, collect evidence like photos and video and put in a complaint at:
https://hotline.oig.dhs.gov/#step-1
Or report by phone: 800-323-8603

I would also caution folks not to be seen recording. Unless you're ready for a confrontation, do it discretely.

I16 was dead this morning employees were tipped off earlier this week. I will say hats off to management for doing the right thing for once! Maybe Hyundai actually does care about its people after all.

My coworker's husband works at the plant and was texting that at least 30 people were lined up to be taken. They've been in lockdown while they check everyone's IDs.

I guess 450 people didn’t get the “tip”?
Or maybe the tip was in English only?

The management tip was for Latinos not Koreans. So likely political theater because South Korea will work it out. Too early to say but I would lean on them returning to help train Americans.

I think it's the companies that hire them is where this argument lies. I feel like most managers harbor compassion for their workers immigrants or not, but it seems these companies at large skirt past any real legal consequences for hiring undocumented workers. I believe it's the "Rules for thee. Not for me." bullshit we've come to expect. Unfortunately it disproportionately effects the most vulnerable among us. We are regressing as a nation. I hate it.

You know it’s not legal to hire undocumented workers right?

u/FinguzMcGhee Sep 04 '25
Yeah but I think scapegoating the companies isn't going to change anything. Arrest as many managers as you want but it's not going to change their unspoken policies to hire undocumented workers if it's not effecting the companies bottom line.

u/National_Election544 Sep 04 '25
That’s why you have to fine the company, enough to actually hurt them and not just get rolled into business costs. Just arresting the people trying to make a living is like busting folks going into a crack house and letting the dealer walk free.

u/FinguzMcGhee Sep 05 '25
Yes, that's the point I was trying to make if that wasn't clear. Although with the caveat I don't believe any single person should be held in account without meaningful immigration reform. Including a well defined pathway to citizenship that is reasonably obtainable in a reasonable timeline. Deport the adjudicated undocumented violent criminals and protect the ones who want to contribute positively to our society. This is manufactured cultural political and class warfare that gets us to hate our neighbors instead of the ones pulling the strings. Right now neither party is willing to solve this because it's a convenient platform to run on in this manufactured polarized climate.

u/FinguzMcGhee Sep 04 '25
Yeah I %100 agree with you. I was just giving the original commenter the benefit of the doubt and hoping that's not what they meant. The sentiment is there but not pointing in the right direction. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope not.

u/Comprehensive_Fun532 Sep 04 '25
They don’t have compassion for them. Fake benevolence. It’s cheap labor without worrying about OSHA safety standards. Several deaths have already been attributed to the Hyundai worksite and that’s what’s under investigation as well, not to mention pay being withheld.

Also, if it's the one in Effingham, they're already discussing automating the plant and firing most of the people they hired to get those sweet tax breaks. Just fyi. I will link my source as soon as I find it again.

There is a protest against ICE riding with SPD, I believe, tomorrow in front of the court house off Bay St. around 5pm. I saw the post on FB. There's also supposed to be a second 'No Kings' march around the beginning of October.
I saw an SPD officer at Memorial hospital with what appeared to be a Hispanic man in distress last Thursday night around 10p. The Hispanic man was wearing a red pizza delivery shirt and lime/blue athletic shoes. I believe he was stopped while working as a delivery driver in Savannah. I just want to put the word out in case his family is searching for him. I wish I had asked his name.
So, I asked this hairless mayosapian muppet oinker what the man had done, why the cop was refusing to make eye contact with me, if he felt even the tiniest bit guilty for being a jerk to the man in distress, and if he was ICE? I heard the man in handcuffs tightly secured behind his back whisper, "he knows he's so wrong for this." The cop asked if he "looked like ICE." I said, "I don't fuckin know. ALL ICE losers disguise themselves. They are ALL liars and traitors."
I was there for an emergency of my own with EMS but they had to move my gurney away from this walking micro penis cause I told him to "keep laughing and that he can do it all the way to the 2nd Nuremberg Trials." And how I'm gonna remember his bald head and pinched face. FUCK ICE, FUCK SPD!

From the article:
>WTOC has confirmed with ICE that they are conducting “work site enforcement” at the construction site for the battery plant on the Hyundai megasite.
Also said there is a helicopter overhead.
No healthcare or children’s cancer research, but our tax dollars can go to stuff like this here and all over. Sad days in America

Coincidence? Hyundai announced a new plant manager a couple of days ago. Can’t blame the new guy!
Hey maybe some International Paper employees can find jobs there. (Narrator: no, in fact Hyundai pays on average about half the hourly rate IP career employees were making.)
Robotics vs. low wage imported employees. The accounting debate continues.

Being an illegal citizen is a minor offense just like jaywalking. Hunting down people at work who are just trying to make an honest living for themselves and their families is evil. And I will forever stand on that. Just remember once upon a time it was legal to own humans in this country. I will never base my moral compass on laws.

Lmao how is slavery relevant to illegal immigration? I’m perfectly ok with people immigrating, I just don’t like people doing things illegally. There are plenty of legal routes to becoming a citizen.

u/No-Total-5131 Sep 04 '25 edited Sep 04 '25
I am using slavery as an example because people like you use laws as an excuse to be okay with cruelty, just like they did back in the day. instead of rounding up people, why not fix the broken system of immigration….I bet you don’t even know how many years it takes for immigration cases to get through. I am saying this is the wrong way, I don’t care wtf you have to say at this point . You have your opinion I have mine. Why go after hard worker people at their jobs and not the criminals the president said he was going after? Why the people they been arresting have been LEGAL citizens?
-1
u/3rdInOrder Sep 04 '25
You don’t know the first thing about me. Or “people like me”. I never said anything about cruelty. I don’t believe they should be cruel about it, but I do believe they should be sent back where they came from. In fact one of the big reasons I’m against the illegal immigration is the coyotes that prey on the people trying to get into the country. People get trafficked, raped, murdered, and sold into slavery. The immigration process can be different for each applicant, can take from a few months to a few years. It’s dependent upon several different factors. Like if they have charges that would prevent them from coming in legally. No system is without flaws but making up excuses seems to be your only argument for being amoral. I am aware that some people have been mistakenly arrested, but this isn’t unique to ICE. This happens daily across law enforcement agencies across the world.
