The release of hundreds of South Korean workers arrested by federal immigration agents at a Hyundai factory last week has been delayed due to “circumstances on the U.S. side,” Korean officials have said.
More than 300 South Korean workers have been held at an immigration detention center in Folkston, in southeast Georgia, since last Thursday, after ICE agents raided the electric battery plant, which is under construction on the campus of Hyundai’s sprawling auto plant west of Savannah. A total of about 475 people were arrested in the raid.
