When the police raided a factory in Georgia, they found boxes of Chinese citizens in conditions of slaves, and the authorities say they were pressed in service by a forced labor traffic ring.
Last month, the agents of several agencies assaulted well -made industries in Cartersville, Georgia, 40 miles north of Atlanta, and what they found surprised them, according to the Constitution of Atlanta Journal.
Federal officials said that around 60 Chinese nationals were arrested in small rooms and forced to work long hours at the floors manufacturing plant. The workers exploited in Wellmade are just some of the many exploited workers that the Trump administration has uprooted.
NATIONAL SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS OF ICE Special Agent of Atlanta by Steven N. Schrank said that the conditions in which the workers lived were “horrible”, and pointed out that he and his fellow agents were investigating eight locations for similar crimes.
Three officials of the well -made industries were arrested, including the company’s owner, Zhu Chen, his nephew, Jiayi Chen, and the company Jian Jun Lu.
In the bond hearings for the suspects, the Assistant District Prosecutor, Austin Waldo, said that the company’s officials immediately confiscated the travel documents and identification of the workers as soon as the plant is reached to make it difficult to make the issue of the issue difficult.
Prosecutors also say that workers had to work 12 -hour shifts and then they were not allowed to leave the plant or the rooms at home.
“This operation underlines our firm commitment to combat work traffic and hold those who exploit vulnerable people for profit,” said Special Agent in Choge Schrank in a press release. “Zhu Chen and Jiayi Chen’s trial, together with the rescue of numerous victims, reflects HSI’s tireless efforts and our police partners. We will continue taking advantage of all the resources available to dismantle tetrators and bring criminal.” “
Schrank also said that the victims dishes used in well -made performance floors were rescued from labor exploitation.
Although China is one of our most dangerous and deactivated enemies, Joe Biden allowed a record number of Chinese citizens to enter the United States illegally, his disastrous four years in the White House. Last December, it was estimated that more than 176000 had entered the country, many of which have a national security threat.
Since assuming the position, the Trump administration has started a record number of cases of execution of the work site.
A recent X position for the application of immigration and customs indicates that “the ICE HSI HSI trial more than 1,000 illegal foreign workers and proposes almost $ 1 million in employer fines since January 20 as part of its mission of application of workplace.”
“The employment records cited approximately 1,200 companies,” the publication added.
