Over 300 South Korean workers, detained in Georgia for visa violations during a large-scale ICE raid, returned home on Friday. Their week-long detention sparked outrage in South Korea, with accusations of mistreatment and betrayal by the US. The incident involved workers at a Hyundai-LG battery plant, using visas deemed inappropriate by US authorities. South Korea's president warned of investment hesitation if visa issues aren't resolved, highlighting strained relations and the need for revised US-South Korea agreements. One worker opted to remain in the US, while the rest returned amidst widespread public anger and accusations of inhumane treatment.
