South Korea reached a deal with the United States on Sunday to bring home more than 300 of its citizens who were detained during a massive immigration raid at a Hyundai electric vehicle plant in Georgia. The South Korean government said it would send a charter plane to transport the workers back home once administrative procedures are complete.
The raid on Thursday was the largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of Homeland Security Investigations. Federal agents arrested 475 people at the sprawling Hyundai manufacturing site in Ellabell, Georgia, where the Korean automaker produces electric vehicles. Most of those detained were South Korean nationals working on construction of a battery plant at the facility.
