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.
