The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) recently attacked a South Korean enterprise founded in the United States, detaining 317 South Korean citizens, shocking South Korean society with their chains. South Korea made an emergency negotiation at 11:38 a.m. on September 11, local time, the group of South Korean citizens on a charter flight from Atlanta International Airport in Georgia to return home, expected to arrive in South Korea on December 12. According to reports, U.S. President Trump had hoped that South Korean personnel would continue to stay in the United States and continue to train U.S. personnel, but only one South Korean would stay.

South Korean citizens were chained and taken away

On September 4, law enforcement agencies such as ICE raided a battery plant jointly built by Modern Automobile Group and LG New Energy in Savannah, Georgia, detaining 475 people, including 317 Korean citizens, for activities inconsistent with the visa category.

South Korea was extremely shocked by this, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly protested. After representations, these people originally planned to leave the United States on the 10th, but it was suddenly postponed for one day due to American reasons.

South Korean Foreign Minister Zhao Xian and US Secretary of State on the 10thby RubioAfter the meeting, President Trump said he hoped that South Korean personnel would continue to work in the United States, train American personnel, and order to suspend the return process for detained South Korean citizens.

However, this action obviously shocked the arrested Korean citizens. Only one Korean citizen chose to stay in the United States, and the remaining 316 all asked to return to South Korea by charter flight.

At the request of the South Korean government, they were not worn in bracelets before boarding the plane, unlike other people who were deported from the United States.

Following the South Korean reporter said that from ICE detention to Atlanta airport there is a distance of 428 kilometers, 316 people took eight buses to the airport, on the way to have encountered an unexpected number of parks, South Korean personnel like the horror bird, once worried, until boarding the charter plane to let down the heart.

Jose Munios, CEO of Modern Automobile, said the battery plant is expected to be delayed for at least two to three months due to the U.S. government¡¯s anti-immigration campaign.

South Korea in the United States suffered shame and humiliation, South Korea media collectively defended

President of South Korea, Lee In Minh.

This is a disgrace to South Korea.

Watching the video, a group of Koreans were asked to lie on the wall. American law enforcement officers put them in chains, handcuffs, footcuffs, and a chain around their waists, and then they were taken away...

Are they terrorists?

No to !

Just in the eyes of the U.S. government, these people ran to a modern factory in Georgia to work illegally.

The raid was one of the most extensive migration raids in U.S. modern history, as well as the largest repression of the country's workplace by President Trump so far.

475 people were arrested, 300 of whom were Korean citizens.

Approximately 300 Koreans arrested in the United States

Why target Korean companies?

We do not know.

But what we know is that Trump and South Korean President Lee issued an arrest warrant a week after meeting Ming.

Are they illegal immigrants?

I saw that the Korean side explained that many of them were engineers who took business visas and were sent to the United States by the parent company to accelerate the modern-LG battery factory project.

But in the view of the Americans, even business visas, the Korean you are also illegal; some visa expires, still rely on the United States.

Trump also clearly looked at the capture operation, denying that it was aimed at foreign investment: ¡°They are illegal immigrants, and the ICE is just performing their duties.¡±

But even illegal immigrants, after all, are not terrorists, so on the feet, handcuffs, chains, whose face is hit?

The crackdown on national dignity often begins with the violation of individual dignity.

Let's assume. no assumption China, if Russia, if Japan, also against the Koreans in this way to catch action, so openly on the foot, the wristband, the waist also rooted chains, what would the Koreans think?

Korean emotions exploded.

Or, for example, a few hundred Americans, also treated by Japan or South Korea, are also tortured like cattle, what would Americans think?

This is also the shame of the United States.

Therefore, the Korean media can be described as collective defense breaking.

Some Korean media lambasted, "This is the Trump administration's treachery to Korean investment enterprises." "We responded to the call for the manufacturing industry to return to the United States, but now we have suffered humiliating treatment."

Some Korean media also analyzed that although the Trump administration claimed that this was a blow to illegal immigrants, it was actually a provocation to South Korea-US economic cooperation.

Dong-A Ilbo warned that this could have a "chilling effect on our business activities in the United States".

You know, just a week ago, Lee Jae-myung and Trump had a good talk at the White House. South Korea promised to invest $350 billion in the United States in exchange for the reduction of tariffs by the United States, but the specific details are still under negotiation. The United States suddenly attacked South Korean factories, which does not rule out that it is also to put pressure on South Korea.

Just a week after the president came back, America suddenly changed its face. It is more related to national dignity and national rights and interests, and the Korean government has to strongly protest.

According to media reports, the South Korean government immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the response.

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung instructed the government to go all out to solve this incident quickly.

South Korean Foreign Minister Zhao Zhao said he felt "a great responsibility for the arrest of our citizens", and if necessary, he would personally go to the United States to discuss the settlement.

Finally, the good news is that South Korea has revealed that after intensive negotiations, the relevant procedures are to be completed, and the South Korean government will send a charter aircraft to take back the 300 people.

The bad news is that Trump does not rule out taking more similar actions. In the emergency response of Korean companies, a large number of employees going to the United States were recalled, and most business trips to the United States were postponed indefinitely.

As a result, the modern-LG battery project, which invested more than 50 billion yuan, is one of South Korea's largest investment projects in the United States, originally scheduled for production in 2025, and now, it is likely not to be as expected.

Finally what do you think?

Let's make three superficial points.

First of all, Trump does not recognize six.

We had a good talk a few days ago, but we were suddenly arrested a few days later.

Hit Korean faces? Slap Lee Jae-myung in the face?

The United States does not care, should catch the catch, and, on the foot and the wristband, the waist is still rooted in iron chains, how to humiliate how to come.

This is not just for Korea.

Remember, a few months ago, the U.S. deported illegal immigrants from Colombia, as well as all kinds of wrist-and-mortar chains, which made Colombia angry, immigrants are people after all, they are not terrorists, you can not humiliate Colombia like this.

Colombia has refused to return U.S. aircraft.

Trump was angry when he announced that he would raise taxes on Colombia by 25% to 50% a week later, visa restrictions on Colombian officials, families and supporters as well as financial, banking and financial sanctions on Colombia.

Colombia had to surrender.

The Korean incident is just a replica.

In the logic of power, the dignity of the weak is often the cheapest sacrifice.

Second, South Korea is trembling with anger.

After all, the illegal immigrants of the United States, mainly from Latin America. With the development of the Korean economy, now Koreans illegally immigrate to the United States, less and less.

Korean enterprises actively responded to the call of the United States to invest and set up factories in the United States to create employment opportunities; Many Koreans are just sent to speed up construction. Their visas may be flawed, and some of them are the result of inadequate communication.

But the U.S. says to catch and catch, a little bit of sentiment is left, what is welcoming investment? what close allies?

It has to be said that being an enemy of the United States is dangerous, but being an ally of the United States is fatal. Insert a knife in both ribs for the United States, but always insert two knives in the United States first.

South Korea wants to cry without tears, but what can it do besides calm things down?

In the communication between countries, the weak often even have to calculate the price of sadness.

Third, an increasingly wayward America.

For South Korea, a lot of happiness is that this time the United States has only caught and humiliated the South Koreans, and has not yet opened the killing ring.

In a more controversial recent event, Trump declared that he ordered the military to launch a strike on a ship "departing from Venezuela and preparing to deliver drugs to the United States". The ship was destroyed and 11 people on board were killed.

After all, it was a foreign ship, without a proper trial, without confirmed evidence, it opened fire directly, killing 11 people?

Is this appropriate?

After all, this is not an anti-terrorism act. What if the United States makes a mistake?

I saw that Vice President Vance of the United States also defended this move by the United States, saying: Killing criminal members who poison our compatriots on the spot is the highest and best use of our army.

Someone has denied: Killing civilians in another country without any legitimate procedure is called a war crime.

Even Republican Senator Paul couldn¡¯t look at it, asking: Has he ever read Killing a Knightbird? how humiliating and reckless it is to praise killing people without judgment!

When power asserts itself as justice, violence naturally wears the mask of morality.

But that¡¯s what America is now, and it¡¯s ridiculous that the Department of Defense has even changed its name to the Department of War.

Screenshots of Korean drama related plots

South Koreans are in an emergency evacuation. Looking at previous Korean dramas, when the United States violated South Korea's interests, South Korean leaders said angrily: Bring the U.S. ambassador and immediately put him on your knees under the Tai Chi flag.

Korean movies, you really did.

Reality is often more absurd than drama, because drama also needs logic, and reality never needs it.
