Over 300 South Korean workers detained during a large-scale immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia will be released and repatriated, the South Korean government announced. Negotiations between South Korea and the U.S. secured their release, with a chartered plane planned for their return. The raid, part of a larger deportation effort, caused concern in South Korea given its strong alliance with the U.S. and recent significant economic investments. South Korea plans to review visa systems for business travelers following the incident.
