A massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia, the largest in US history, has detained 475 people, including many South Koreans temporarily working to launch the factory. This has caused at least a two-month delay in the plant's opening, prompting concerns from South Korea about US investment policies. The raid created tensions between the US and South Korea, with the South Korean president warning it discourages foreign investment. Most of the detained workers are expected to return to South Korea, creating staffing challenges for Hyundai. The incident jeopardizes the US-South Korea trade deal and raises questions about future foreign investment in the US.
