"More than 300 South Korean citizens were held for about a week, before being discharged and making a return home later. As part of the raid the largest of its kind since US President Donald Trump's crackdown on migrants Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested some 475 factory workers, most of them from South Korea, allegedly due to overstaying their visas or holding permits that didn't allow them to perform manual labor."
"President Trump said he doesn't want to "frighten off" investors, and that foreign workers sent to the US are "welcome." "I don't want to frighten off or disincentivize investment," the US leader posted on his Truth Social account, adding the circumstances for temporarily allowing foreign experts in the US to support the development of "extremely complex products" such as chips, semiconductors, computers and trains."
South Korea will examine potential human-rights violations after more than 300 of its citizens were detained following an ICE raid at a Hyundai factory in Georgia. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested about 475 factory workers, most from South Korea, citing alleged visa overstays or permits that did not permit manual labor. The detained workers were held for roughly a week, then discharged and repatriated. The arrests sparked domestic outrage, demands for a US apology, and concerns that such actions could discourage future investment despite prior promises of major South Korean investment in the United States. President Trump said he welcomed foreign experts and did not want to frighten off investors.
