Raid on automotive plant reveals labor abuse

A recent raid on a Hyundai plant in Georgia, which resulted in the detention of more than 500 migrants, makes it the largest operation in two decades and also exposes labor abuses at this automotive plant.

Daniela Rodríguez, executive director of Equidad Migrante del Sureste, says the raids show that we live in an inhumane system that criminalizes migrant labor while large companies expand and grow their profits.

Daniela Rodríguez, executive director of Equidad Migrante del Sureste, acknowledges that this is not the first time ICE has gone to Hyundai.

She says that now they want to blame the workers.

Daniela Rodríguez, executive director of Equidad Migrante del Sureste, talks about the actions being taken now, but it is because of this company’s history of abuse.

Daniela Rodríguez, executive director of Equidad Migrante del Sureste, points out that it is not the workers who are to blame, but rather the company that must ensure that rights are respected.

She reminds us that migrant families are suffering and were unfortunately “hunted down” by ICE.

In addition, Daniela Rodríguez, executive director of Equidad Migrante del Sureste, says they offer all kinds of help to workers and their families.

Daniela Rodríguez, executive director of Equidad Migrante del Sureste, insists that it is important to give workers information about their rights and reminds them that they are not alone.
