      Yes and this one was more nuanced. Reportedly around 150 we’re South Koreans who did not have work visas or had overstayed.

      It’s entirely possible that LG contractors were violating labor laws and restrictions.

    I think it’s pretty obvious what’s going on here: the government is arbitrarily arresting people because the regime’s private partners earn a lot of money from every person they intern.

    IMO this is organized crime in its most ruthless form—indifferent to the suffering inflicted on individuals and the damage caused to society.

    And worst of all, this seems to be only the secondary function of ICE for this regime. Its primary function is to build up a secret police force that can be used against dissidents and serve as a safeguard against possible resistance from within the military – why else would ICE need such an astronomical budget?
