In a startling turn of events, over 300 South Korean workers were detained in Georgia, USA, in one of the largest immigration raids during Donald Trump’s presidency. The workers, employed by South Korean companies Hyundai and LG, were assisting in the construction of an electric car battery plant, a project aimed at boosting foreign investment in the US. The raid, which involved armed immigration officers, armored vehicles, and drones, left the workers shocked and terrified. Many were handcuffed, shackled, and transported to detention centers, where they endured harsh conditions, including freezing temperatures and unsanitary water. Initially, US officials claimed the workers were in the country illegally, but a subsequent agreement allowed them to leave voluntarily without penalties. The incident has strained US-South Korea relations, with South Korea investigating potential human rights violations. Despite the ordeal, some workers express a sense of resignation, as their livelihoods depend on their work in the US.
