In response to news that 475 workers were detained yesterday in an ICE raid at the Bryan County Hyundai plant, DPG Chair Charlie Bailey released the following statement:

“The Democratic Party of Georgia strongly condemns this week’s ICE raid at the Bryan County Hyundai plant and the increasingly aggressive presence of ICE in communities across our state. These raids are politically-motivated fear tactics designed to terrorize people who work hard for a living, power our economy, and contribute to the communities across Georgia that they have made their homes. The Trump administration breaking its promise to target violent criminals and instead targeting hardworking people does nothing to make Georgia stronger – it is political grandstanding at the cost of Georgia families, businesses, and livelihoods.”
