26 分钟Hello and welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.
I'm Victoria Craig, coming to you live from New York.
On the program today,
hundreds of people have been arrested during an immigration raid in the U.S. state of Georgia.
We'll take you there live for the latest details.
Plus, the all-important monthly jobs report here in the U.S. is out today,
and it shows hiring stalled last month.
Our U.S. business correspondent walks us through what that means for the Federal Reserve's very closely watched rate decision in just about two weeks.
And Russia's president dangles the possibility of a restoration in business cooperation with America.
How realistic is that?
Doing what Putin suggests would essentially blow up the sanctions regime and destroy all the work we've done to punish Russia for its invasion over the past three years.
That's coming up just a bit on the program.
But first, we begin in America's South in the state of Georgia.
U.S. immigration agents have arrested 475 people there.
It's the largest workplace raid in President Trump's second term.
The Department of Homeland Security said today that the arrests happened last night during a raid on a massive battery complex that's under construction for the South Korean carmaker,
Hyundai.
DHS said the operation was into unlawful hiring practices and that most of those detainees are Korean.
Hyundai says it understands that none of those workers are its direct employees.
Steve Schrank is a special agent for Homeland Security.
