The aftermath of the Hyundai plant raid


Listen Later

On today’s show, Kimberly is joined by Marlon Hyde, business and economics reporter for WABE in Atlanta, to unpack the fallout of the massive ICE raid at a Hyundai facility in Georgia in which hundreds of South Korean nationals were arrested. And, we’ll get into what Atlanta small business owners are worried about these days. (Spoiler: it’s tariffs.) Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!


Here’s everything we talked about today:


  • "Immigration raid at Georgia Hyundai factory tests state’s longstanding relationship with South Korea" from WABE
  • "Hyundai says it will spend $2.7 billion expanding part of the Georgia complex raided by ICE" from AP News
