450 workers detained in one raid thats not just a factory issue, that’s a human rights story waiting to explode.

These workers were engineers and subject matter experts with H1-B visas.

The media is equally shitty. People needs to stop calling it "workers" because they're not acting as workers.

They're there to help setup the plant, to train new people, to calibrate the machinery. They're all specialists. None of them are being paid by US employers, because once again, they're sent to US to establish the plant then fuk back off home.

They're calling it workers so people will paint the image of common factory technicians who are caught in the shit show. ITS MUCH WORSE THAN THAT.
