Hundreds Arrested in Immigration Raid at Hyundai Site in Georgia
More than 300 South Korean nationals were among the 475 people arrested in an immigration raid at a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia.
The facility, a $4.3 billion to $7.6 billion Hyundai–LGES joint venture, is slated to supply batteries to Hyundai’s nearby Savannah EV plant and stands as the largest single industrial investment in Georgia’s history.
The South Korean foreign ministry expressed "concern and regret" over the raid and sent a counselor and embassy officials to the location.
"Our companies’ economic activities and our people’s rights should not be infringed unfairly in the US legal enforcement process," Lee Jae-woong, a spokesperson for South Korea’s foreign ministry, said on Friday, according to the Financial Times.
