Trump says foreign workers are ‘welcome’ after ICE raid in Georgia targets hundreds of South Koreans

President Donald Trump is trying to smooth things over with South Korea after his administration arrested hundreds of workers at a Hyundai plant in Georgia earlier this month. Just hours after reports indicated that South Korea would open a human rights investigation into the detention of Korean employees, Trump said he doesn’t “want to frighten off” foreign investment into the US — something he has made a priority during his second administration. On September 4th, Immigration and Customs Enfo

Hyundai battery plant faces startup delay after US immigration raid, CEO says

A battery plant co-owned by Hyundai Motor is facing a minimum startup delay of two to three months following an immigration raid last week, Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz said on Thursday. The Georgia plant, which is operated through a joint venture between Hyundai and South Korea's LG Energy Solution, was at the center of the largest single-site enforcement operation in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's history last week. Munoz, in his first public comments since the raid, said he was surpri

This New Korean Rom-Com Feels Like a Throwback '80s Teen Movie in the Best Way

As a movie lover who grew up on John Hughes and other filmmakers like him, I was trained from an early age to expect that high school would be filled with archetypes: bullies, popular kids, jocks, nerds and humorless and gruff authority figures. While we've evolved since then (at least a tiny bit), there's something about some of those now-classic '80s movies that remains endearing even if some of the characters and plot details feel problematic or downright silly by today's standards.

Hyundai’s Latest Concept Car Comes With Subtle ‘Star Wars’ References

Hyundai just previewed a new concept car at the IAA Mobility trade show in Munich, Germany, and it’s packed with subtle Star Wars nods. The EV, dubbed the Concept THREE, sports a futuristic graphite-silver exterior, yellow-tinted windows, and a moonbeam-yellow interior with purple accents. Concept THREE is Hyundai’s first compact design for its IONIQ line of EVs. Concept cars like this one often serve multiple purposes, including generating buzz, showing off a company’s latest tech, and signal

Hyundai’s out-of-this-world EV concept is a glimpse at the upcoming Ioniq 3

Hyundai is out with a new concept car that previews a smaller EV that could slot below the Ioniq 5. And while the design is pretty bold, and full of what seems to be veiled references to Star Wars, the idea of a smaller (and hopefully less expensive) electric hatchback is surely one of the more grounded ways to approach a d

Trump Admin Raids Hyundai Construction Site as US Manufacturing Jobs Keep Shrinking

Almost 500 people were detained Thursday in an immigration raid at a new Hyundai manufacturing complex in Georgia. The massive raid highlights growing tensions between President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies, his tariff-fueled trade negotiations, and his promise to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. “This was the largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of Homeland Security Investigations,” said Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of the agency’s Atlanta

South Korea: 'many' of its nationals detained in ICE raid on GA Hyundai facility

South Korea said Friday that it had expressed “concern and regret” to the U.S. Embassy over an immigration raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia during which it said “many” South Korean nationals had been detained. “The economic activities of our companies investing in the U.S. and the rights and interests of our nationals must not be unfairly violated,” said Lee Jae-woong, a spokesperson for the foreign ministry of the key U.S. ally, according to the Yonhap news agency.

Five brands could announce CarPlay Ultra availability as soon as iPhone 17 event day

iPhone 17 news will undoubtedly dominate technology headlines next week. Yet September 9 could also prove to be a turning point for Apple’s CarPlay Ultra. While I don’t expect the feature to take the spotlight during Apple’s event itself, the same day marks the start of IAA Mobility in Munich, where Hyundai is poised to confirm support and other automakers may follow. I’m now confident that September 9, the first day of the expo, is when we’ll see Hyundai reveal its take on CarPlay Ultra, poss

CarPlay Ultra could soon land on an affordable EV after luxury car debut

CarPlay Ultra arrived this year after taking a bit longer than expected to materialize. The only catch is that next-generation CarPlay is only offered in cars that start around $200,000. That appears to be changing soon with an affordable EV option coming soon. Apple CarPlay is super popular in cars these days, and CarPlay Ultra goes further than ever by taking over almost all of the carmaker’s user interface. CarPlay Ultra appears both on the infotainment center displays and the screens behind

Hyundai is now offering an “optional” security upgrade for the Ioniq 5 in the UK that prevents the car being stolen with a Game Boy-like device.

Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 N offers more sound, more shifts, more smiles

Hyundai provided flights from Albany to London and accommodation so Ars could attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Ioniq 6 N reveal. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. Hyundai's N division is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025. That's not long enough to earn the cachet of other performance sub-brands, like BMW's M or Mercedes-Benz's AMG, but N has certainly developed a reputation for fun, attainable, and powder-blue cars. With the Ioniq 5 N, Hyundai's skunkworks for spee

Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 N looks like a fake-shifting, drift-happy good time

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Hyundai just unveiled its second-ever performance EV, the Ioniq 6 N, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, England. The new variant carries over a lot of what made the Ioniq 5 N so appealing, while adding a little more range and a little more giddyap. But more importantly is a suite of features designed to mimi

Hyundai Reveals the ‘Lightspeed’ Ioniq 6 N

Following the success of its ridiculously entertaining Ioniq 5 N in 2024, Hyundai is clearly hoping it can repeat the trick by applying its speedy sub-brand's knowhow to its streamliner sibling—the result revealed today is this, the Ioniq 6 N, Hyundai's second high-performance EV. Being born from the brand's N division, which is tasked with focusing on delivering a combination of cornering prowess and racetrack capability to supposedly create accessible “everyday” sportscars, you'd expect the 6
