That's not what I see in other reports:Google AI:
Hyundai operates two automotive manufacturing plants in the U.S.: one in Alabama (Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama) and a new electric vehicle plant in Georgia (Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America), with a planned steel plant to open in Louisiana in 2028 to support these facilities.
Unpacking claims Hyundai is closing Georgia plant following ICE raid
An operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 475 workers at a Hyundai "megasite" in Georgia in early September 2025.
However, there was no evidence that Hyundai was closing the Georgia facility in light of the raid. The AP reported HL-GA would be pausing construction of the battery plant, which is scheduled to be opened in 2026, but HL-GA did not respond to Snopes for further comment. We have opted not to give a rating to this claim until HL-GA responds.
However, Michael Stewart, director of public relations and communications at Hyundai North America, told Snopes via email, "there have been no changes to Hyundai's operations in the U.S." and referred to a statement released on the company's website addressing the incident. The statement claimed that "none of those detained is directly employed by Hyundai Motor Company" and "Hyundai has zero tolerance for those who don't follow the law."
The company's statement read in full:
Hyundai Motor Company is aware of the immigration enforcement action that took place at the construction site of its supplier, the HL-GA Battery Company in Bryan County, Georgia. We are closely monitoring the situation while working to understand the specific circumstances. Based on our current understanding, none of those detained is directly employed by Hyundai Motor Company.Hyundai is committed to full compliance with all laws and regulations in every market where we operate. This includes employment verification requirements and immigration laws. We expect the same commitment from all our partners, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors.The safety and well-being of everyone working at our sites, whether directly employed by us or working for our suppliers, is a top priority. We take our responsibility as a corporate citizen seriously, and incidents like this remind us of the importance of robust oversight throughout our entire supply chain and contractor network.We are reviewing our processes to ensure that all parties working on our projects maintain the same high standards of legal compliance that we demand of ourselves. This includes thorough vetting of employment practices by contractors and subcontractors.North America Chief Manufacturing Officer Chris Susock will now assume governance of the entire megasite in Georgia and we will conduct an investigation to ensure all suppliers and their subcontractors comply with all laws and regulations.Hyundai has zero tolerance for those who don't follow the law.As we continue to invest in American manufacturing and create thousands of jobs, we will do so in full accordance with U.S. law and in a manner that reflects our values of treating all people with dignity and respect.
Hyundai says opening of raided plant to be delayed
A massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in the US will delay its opening by at least two months, according to the company.
The raid has raised tensions between the US and South Korea, where many of the workers were from, with the South Korean president warning that it will discourage foreign investment into the US.
South Korean officials have said many of the workers had been sent to the US factory temporarily to help get it going.
Hyundai chief executive José Muñoz told US media the raid will create "minimum two to three months delay [in opening the factory] because now all these people want to get back".
Fact Check: Hyundai Did NOT Announce It Is Cancelling Its $4 Billion Plant In Georgia After ICE Raid

Did Hyundai make an announcement that it was canceling its $4 billion EV battery plant in Georgia after the raid where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 475 workers on September 4, 2025? No, that's not true: There is no impact to Hyundai's U.S. vehicle manufacturing operations following the ICE raid a company spokesperson told Lead Stories. Hyundai's president and CEO spoke to reporters on September 11, 2025, and said there would be a two-to-three-month delay in the startup of the battery manufacturing joint venture but did not say the company was cancelling that plant. Hyundai said it was continuing to invest in American manufacturing and creating thousands of jobs in a statement on its website after the raid. There have been no actual news reports about Hyundai cancelling the project.
The claim appeared in a September 10, 2025 post on X.com (archived here) where it was published on the @Christo12919382 account with caption, "Trump's America folks...#ETTD".
Lead Stories reached out to Hyundai for a comment on the claim that the company was cancelling the plant.
Hyundai spokesperson Ira Gabriel responded via email on September 11, 2025, and said "There is no impact to Hyundai's U.S. vehicle manufacturing operations." He pointed to remarks Hyundai President and CEO José Muñoz gave to reporters on September 11, 2025, while attending an automotive conference in Detroit, where he reportedly said the company is facing a "minimum startup delay of two to three months," but not a cancellation.
Unless there's real information that I haven't seen, I must assume this this is a baseless rumor started by some attention seeking rando, and reposted by more of the same.
