South Korean workers challenging Trump administration over Georgia raid
BARCELONA: More than 300 South Korean workers who were detained in last year’s immigration raid at a Hyundai electric-vehicle manufacturing plant in Georgia are challenging the US government, CNN reported on Tuesday.
More than 300 South Korean workers detained in a US immigration raid at a Hyundai electric-vehicle manufacturing plant in Georgia last year are now challenging the US government, according to CNN. The workers, most of whom are South Korean nationals, were arrested in September and are filing administrative claims with nine federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the FBI.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that the investigation is focused on ensuring accountability for those who violate the law and upholding the rule of law. Hyundai did not comment on the reported challenge. The raid, described as the largest single-site enforcement operation in the Department of Homeland Security's history, took place at a joint venture between Hyundai and South Korea's LG Energy Solution.
