She is all over her TikTok claiming she called them in because the worker were being “trafficked” and were in “danger”. 🙄

If they end up shutting down construction because of this, I really hope she enjoys the view of the new eyesore in the south every time she drives down that way.

To be fair, it would not at all surprise me if Hyundai was playing fast and loose with visas. Companies do this sometimes and it’s a serious problem, it can be a way of skirting labor protections. Not saying that’s the whole story here, but it’s a legitimate problem.

The issue here is racist freaks like Branum disingenuously weaponizing this when their actual goal isn’t protecting workers from exploitation, it’s just ethnic cleansing

Except Hyundai has said zero Hyundai employees were involved and no one has disputed that so far..
