The BBC said they were all subcontractors and as you suggest, mechanics involved in setting up the factory in some way. Seems like it's exactly that, a contract house not wanting to go through the process of getting proper visas and getting folks in in any way.

As with a lot of things, I'm not so opposed to enforcing visa rules for something like this but maybe the shackles and method of detention weren't all that necessary. Also worth looking at fixing the reasons why companies are skipping the proper visa process, because nobody at all should be (or is?) opposed to LG/Hyundai setting up a factory in the US. Things we should be doing with a helping hand are being done with guns drawn instead.

But we all know they're doing it this way for the populist theater, there's folks out there that want to watch fascist police state theater on the evening news.
