DESCRIPTION
A major immigration enforcement operation in South Carolina is drawing national attention after dozens of arrests, including company management personnel. Tara examines the timing of the raid, its political implications ahead of the Republican primary, and the broader debate surrounding illegal hiring practices, workplace enforcement, and state leadership.
SUMMARY
South Carolina's largest workplace immigration enforcement action in years has become a flashpoint in the state's political landscape.
