South Korea will send a chartered Korean Air Boeing 747-8i to Atlanta on Wednesday to repatriate approximately 300 South Korean citizens detained during a US immigration raid last week at a Hyundai-LG electric vehicle battery plant in Georgia. The raid, part of a wider crackdown on illegal immigration, has sparked outrage in South Korea, prompting Foreign Minister Cho Hyun's trip to Washington for talks to secure assurances against future US entry bans for the detained workers. President Trump warned foreign companies to respect US immigration laws while welcoming investment.
