President Donald Trump's administration plans to target more businesses for immigration enforcement after a raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia led to hundreds of arrests, a top White House official said on Sunday.Speaking on CNN's 'State of the Union,' White House border czar Tom Homan said the administration would intensify the focus on workplaces. The South Korean government said on Sunday that the workers would be returned once administrative procedures were completed.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official said during a press conference on Friday that some of the people arrested at the facility had crossed the border illegally and overstayed visas. For weeks, Trump and his top officials have suggested the administration could send National Guard troops and federal officers to Chicago to target crime and immigration.In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump posted a meme based on the 1979 Vietnam war movie "Apocalypse Now" that showed an image of the Chicago skyline with flames and helicopters, reminiscent of the deadly helicopter attack on a Vietnamese village in the film.On CNN, Homan defended the meme, which has been heavily criticized by Chicago residents and others for its warlike imagery and suggestion that the city is a military target.
