More than 300 South Korean workers detained during a 4 September 2025 immigration raid at the Hyundai-LG battery plant site in Ellabell, Georgia, have begun filing administrative claims against the Trump administration, alleging unlawful arrest and detention.
Authorities described the operation as the largest single-site enforcement action in Homeland Security Investigations history. The filings, a required step before any federal lawsuit, target nine federal agencies over the treatment of workers during and after the raid.
