Recent US immigration actions under President Trump have ignited tensions with key allies and raised economic concerns. A high-profile raid arrested nearly 500 South Korean workers at an electric vehicle factory in Georgia, prompting diplomatic outrage and criticism over investment impacts. Trump walked back deportations of these workers but continues to face internal conflicts between harsh immigration crackdowns and economic priorities. The administration’s evolving stance underscores the delicate balance between enforcing immigration policies and sustaining essential labor for American industry growth.
