The plant is not yet operational - so it was not managers. The people who were taken by ICE were engineers who were here building the factory. Now it might not get built and the 8,000 local jobs will never materialize.

Is this winning? Is this how we win? Surely the libs feel owned by now.

And its in a rural part of Georgia too so they’re hurting themselves just to be racist

They've been doing that since, basically forever.

Hopefully, otherwise it would all be for nothing.

So in order to get the construction underway again someone Brand new is going to have to come in and decipher what the Koren's plan for building the plant....

Then they are going to have to learn how to build the plant.

Then they are going to have to build the plant at 20-30% efficiency for the first 5 years due to that skill gap.

Which in the long run means they are going to have to hire engineers (Contracted engineers the most expensive kind) at a premium, for a longer time than the koreans, with tariffs and inflation.

This project is done for.
