How MAGA destroyed America: Dismantling & polluted vaccination programs Gutted scientific research Destroyed symbiotic 3rd world aid programs Normalized violence & strongarm tactics Erased the separation of church & state Redefined empathy as a character flaw Slapped & shit on our strongest allies

“WHEN re entering the US”?!?! 😂🙃 Lads, you degraded & publicly humiliated these people, imprisoned them in filthy & profoundly dehumanising conditions & subjected them to racist abuse for over a week, because they believed your gvmnt when it said their visas were sufficient. They aren’t returning.

The one option is to bring Americans to south Korea to train them, that's going to take alot longer because only some people will be willing to do that so at a minimum the Hyundai plant will take far longer to start producing vehicles if ever, there is always a chance to F'k up relationship more.

America keeps shooting themselves in the Ass. How do politicians and officials etc allow Human Beings , who were working , and parents with kids, to be tortured on our soil.

You know, I'm white, and I never , ever, ever would have thought I was supreme. I only Knew loving all the good people. Red and yellow, black , and white , ALL PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT

They detained, handcuffed and brought these people to a jail. All because they were building a factory and training American workers just as Trump said he wanted. Why would they ever do that again?

Yeah, and if I were one of the people manhandled, shackled, and detained like a criminal, there's no way I'd return to the "shithole country" that did that to me. Especially since said country has gone so berserk, there's no way to be sure it wouldn't happen again.

Seriously, there was no excuse for it. This is the sick ICE sadists getting off by terrorizing people. They had visas they should not have been detained at all. And that idiot who called ICE just cost her dirt poor state over a billion dollars.

I think the article says the project they were assisting with has been set back months as well. And, ofc, there's nothing like the boost to international relations the US got from this, amirite? /s

I don’t think they will be back to finish. It would not surprise me if they pull out across the US and go somewhere else. This one is going to have huge repercussions I think. They were doing work that we are unable to do without them and they just screwed GA and the entire country.

Oops Chris. I’m pretty sure they aren’t coming back. Ever. Maybe you should express that regret to the crimes against humanity crew-Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Secretary Shooter et al. Or gripe to your big boss-Grampa Golf-let him know the damage his clowns have done. Maybe he’ll fire someone. 🥴

Korea's leading press agency publishes accounts from the Hyundai/LG employees and execs who were brutalized, put in chains and subjected to hours of racist taunts by Trump's secret police... much of which was comically ignorant (ICE agents called them "Rocket Men"). Needs US translation.

Sometimes regret is very expensive. This was absolutely at discretion of DoS & these crocodile tears can’t cover up overtly threatening & violent messaging that dept has engaged in from jump. He deserves zero benefit of doubt. Same as he offers anyone who disagrees politically or is an immigrant.

Why anyone of any nationality would want to go to that right-wing shit hole is beyond me. Same for any.trump golf course anywhere in the world Boycott them all until he dies and America returns to something resembling normality, which may take a few years/decades

"those who returned home will face no disadvantage when re-entering the US" 🤣🤣🤣 I was reading about Korean pride and I can believe it, but I wouldn't go back to a country that treated me like that either. Are you f***ing kidding? You don't have to mind meld with those inscrutable Asians to get it.

US should offer cash compensation and a formal apology as well as firing this guy's sorry ass along with anyone else responsible. President Fascist Shithead McChildrapist will not do this of course.

I’m sure every South Korean will just nod and say “oh yes perfectly understandable” and line up to carry on working or vacationing or (corporately) investing in the US. It’ll all be fine. /ssssaarcasm font/

And why the hell would they ever want to do that? Why would their colleagues? Fellow citizens? We are quickly becoming a pariah on the global stage, and rightfully so. I'm going to go make popcorn, because there's little else to do until these idiots pull their heads out.

Right?! “You met all the qualifications to be working in the country legally but we locked you up in inhumane conditions. Our bad, you can come back anytime you want. Pinky promise not to do it again!”

Why would they want to re-enter the US after how they were treated? Why would anyone want to come here right now? I don't know if we're ever going to get out from under the shame of this administration and their collaborators.

What a piece of shit! “Expressed regret”!? He knew exactly what he did. Nice try, loser! History will remember you, along with a long list of losers. There are no “do overs”.

I love Christopher Landau & the State Dept thinking anything they say matters. Those folks already faced disadvantage in an ICE pit from hell down here. They wouldn’t return for free annual passes to Disney World. Seems odd no one at State bothers with SE Asian media, btw, but clearly they don’t.

Skilled workers, here on legal temp work visas, were arrested & chained hand, foot & waist placed in grotesquely inhumane detention, and finally allowed to return home. The DEPUTY Secy of State is expressing "regret" & assurances as if they'd ever return. Not Rubio. The devil is dining on his soul.
