Trump Calls Out Foreign Workers

Ellabell, Georgia – President Donald Trump is sending a powerful warning to foreign corporations after U.S. federal agents carried out the largest immigration raid in American history, detaining hundreds of illegal workers at a massive Hyundai electric car battery plant.

On Thursday, Homeland Security agents arrested 475 workers, most of them South Korean nationals, during a major enforcement sweep at the construction site. The raid is being hailed as a historic victory for law and order and a major step toward protecting American jobs.

Trump Issues Stern Message: “Hire Americans First”

In a fiery statement posted on Truth Social Monday, President Trump made it clear that foreign companies must follow U.S. immigration laws or face consequences.

“In light of the recent immigration enforcement action at the Hyundai battery plant in Georgia, I’m calling on all foreign companies doing business in America to honor and follow our immigration laws,” Trump stated.

“We gladly welcome your investments and are ready to help you legally and efficiently bring in top-tier talent. But in exchange, you must prioritize hiring and training American workers. By working together, we can create world-class products while uniting and strengthening our great nation.”

Trump’s remarks emphasize his long-standing “America First” agenda, prioritizing American workers, border security, and law enforcement.

Historic Crackdown on Illegal Hiring

This operation represents the biggest single-site enforcement action in the history of the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump’s administration has been ramping up immigration enforcement, targeting corporations that undercut U.S. workers by employing illegal labor to increase profits.

While the Trump White House continues to welcome foreign investment, the president has made it crystal clear:

• Follow U.S. law.
• Respect American workers.
• Put America first.

Why This Matters for American Jobs

Illegal hiring not only takes jobs away from U.S. citizens, it also drives down wages and weakens communities.

By taking decisive action, Trump is sending a message to global corporations that America will no longer be exploited by companies seeking cheap labor through illegal means.

For many Americans — especially those in manufacturing towns across the South and Midwest — this raid represents hope for fair wages, stronger families, and safer communities.

The Bottom Line

This historic ICE raid shows that President Trump is serious about enforcing immigration laws, protecting American workers, and holding even the biggest corporations accountable.

As Trump put it, “American jobs come first.”
