South Korea is sending a chartered plane to Atlanta as early as Wednesday to repatriate its nationals detained in last week’s U.S. immigration raid at a Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, where about 300 South Koreans and 175 others were arrested. President Lee Jae Myung said Seoul would negotiate with Washington for a fair resolution, stressing responsibility for the workers. Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is in Washington seeking assurances on re-entry and proposing a special work permit for Korean professionals.
The raid, the largest single-site operation in U.S. Homeland Security history, drew criticism in South Korea, where polls show nearly 60 percent viewed the action as excessive. U.S. officials defended the raid, citing labor law violations, while President Donald Trump emphasized that foreign firms must hire and train American workers in line with immigration laws.
