Two key components of President Donald Trump’s agenda collided Thursday, when federal authorities launched an immigration raid on a Georgia construction site for a Hyundai electric vehicle battery plant.

The action came as Trump looks to secure $350 billion in investments from South Korea, as part of a broader trade deal. He is also seeking to revitalize U.S. domestic manufacturing with American-born workers while his administration arrests and deports foreign-born laborers.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Didn’t pay enough bribe money to grandpa president. When are people going to figure that republicans only have one goal and it’s establishing a long term social heirarchy with the diddler n chief at the top.
