Raid on Hyundai plant in US swept up workers on visitor visas

5. Response by AFL-CIO

Would not have expected the AFL-CIO to be in support of non union foreign workers being brought in under visitor visas.

The president of Georgia's chapter of the AFL-CIO called the raid politically motivated and said ICE has been escalating its presence at workplaces across the state.

"This raid is the latest in an ongoing campaign of harassment that has targeted immigrant Georgians as they try to earn an honest living," Yvonne Brooks said in a statement. "Arresting and detaining workers, who are exploited every day and risk their lives every day on the job, creates an atmosphere of fear that terrorizes workers and their families and increases the workload burden on their coworkers."
