South Korea Secures Release of Detained Workers in Historic US Immigration Raid at Hyundai Metaplant
South Korean officials announced on Sunday that negotiations have concluded to secure the release of over 300 workers detained during a U.S. immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant near Savannah. The raid, which took place on Thursday, was part of a monthslong investigation into alleged undocumented work at the plant, marking the largest single immigration operation in the history of Homeland Security Investigations.
Following the announcement, South Korean leadership expressed concern over the situation, emphasizing the need to protect the rights of their citizens and ensure compliance with U.S. laws in future investment projects.
This historic operation, the largest by Homeland Security Investigations, raises concerns about the rights of foreign workers amid ongoing investment projects.
