Hyundai’s plant in Monroe, Georgia, has lost three workers since 2022. The tragedies happened before the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at the site, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article.
The news is still unfolding. Workers who died in that period were not caught up in the ICE operation, which focused on immigration enforcement and compliance checks. The plant, which produces the Hyundai KONA SUV, is a major part of the company’s U.S. manufacturing network.
Statements from Hyundai say the company is reviewing safety procedures. The company has urged all employees to follow safety rules and to report hazards. Local officials say the deaths were accidental and unrelated to the ICE raid.
The ICE raid started earlier, targeting immigration status paperwork and other legal compliance issues. That raid happened after the deaths, so they are separate incidents. However, the Wall Street Journal notes that all three incidents happened under the same corporate umbrella.
Hyundai is also working with local law enforcement and federal agents. The firm stated that it will work with authorities to provide any needed information. Local workers are grateful for the transparency.
Key points for readers:
– Three workers at Hyundai’s Georgia plant died between 2022 and now.
– The deaths predate a U.S. immigration raid on the same plant.
– The raid focused on immigration compliance, not safety.
– Hyundai says it will investigate safety and cooperate with authorities.
