Roughly 200 workers, including a man identified as Kim, are accusing ICE of unlawful detention, racial profiling, human rights violations and excessive use of force. The raid targeted a joint Hyundai Motor—LG Energy Solution EV battery factory under construction near Savannah, Georgia.
I can’t wait to hear from SCotUS how ICE has Qualified Immunity to do this.
I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like the current legal precedent and interpretation of Section 1983 means that people can not sue “federal agents” for violations of their freedoms protected by the Constitution and it’s amendments.
They might be able to target the agency itself but I doubt it. So, the recourse would be to sue the available government body. So, they’d have to get in line to sue the US government. I think they’d be able to do this bc of the Federal Tort Claims Act.
“Including a man identified as Kim” My apologies but aren’t there like millions of Kim’s in Korea?
21.5% of South Koreans have the surname Kim.
Fair point.
Now, how many millions of those men named Kim were abducted from their job by a paramilitary and forcibly deported when staying in the USA legally and are still dealing with the aftermath of their lives being uprooted unexpectedly?
Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.
Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.
So 40 out of 200
I dunno. How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
Maybe the really unusual thing which made it worth mentioning the “man named Kim” in that group is that out of 200 Koreans there was only one man named Kim?
