The raid, planned for months and led by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saw more than 400 armed officers from agencies – including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, US Border Patrol, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Internal Revenue Service and others – swarm the site at Ellabell, where the battery plant is being built next to Hyundai’s new “Metaplant America” EV factory.
