A leaked internal government document reveals that at least one Korean worker detained during a large-scale immigration raid at a Georgia Hyundai factory had a valid US visa. Immigration officials mandated his deportation despite acknowledging no visa violation. This contradicts claims by the agency that all 475 arrested were working illegally. Attorneys allege the detention is illegal, and an anonymous official confirms this, suggesting the agency is covering up mistakes. The raid angered the South Korean government, resulting in a negotiated deal to return the workers.
