Chip making production has begun to migrate largely as a consequence of the Trump tariffs. The Biden plan to send Intel a few billion in kickbacks in exchange for a chip fab industry that wasn't the laughing stock of the planet only enriched shareholders and executives.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. Maybe Operation Low Voltage, which was a raid on a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia? I can't find anything about a raid on a chip fab plant.
In fairness to Trump leadership, a bunch of these workers were, in fact, overstayed on their visas. Although, as usual, Trump sent guys in with shotguns to do what a sternly worded letter would have just as easily accomplished.
