South Korea’s foreign minister will travel to the U.S. on Monday to finalize steps for the return of several hundred South Korean workers detained last week in a massive immigration raid in Georgia, as the incident caused confusion, shock and a sense of betrayal among many in the U.S.-allied nation.
The Sept. 4 raid at a battery factory of the Hyundai plant in Georgia led to the detainment of 475 workers, more than 300 them South Koreans, some of whom were shown being shackled around their hands, ankles and waists in video released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
