Some of the 300 South Korean workers detained following an immigration raid at Hyundai's electric vehicle manufacturing site in Georgia have returned to resume those jobs in America, their employer said Thursday.
The September raid shut down work on a battery plant under construction at the sprawling site near Savannah where Hyundai Motor Group began producing electric vehicles last year. Most of the 475 workers detained were South Korean nationals. U.S. immigration officials said they entered the U.S. with visas that had expired or with visa waivers that prohibited them from working.
