The Brief The ICE raid at a Hyundai battery plant delayed the project by two to three months, raising concerns about economic impact in Georgia.
State Rep. Dexter Sharper warns the raid could deter foreign companies from investing in Georgia, affecting its business reputation.
Sharper proposes a state Labor Department program to verify foreign workers' documentation, aiming to prevent future disruptions without new legislation.
The workers were taken into custody last week during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at a Hyundai battery plant under construction.
"I'm all for upholding the law, but it doesn't look good when a raid like this happens in Georgia, and we are the number one place to do business," Sharper said.
