Sprawling Hyundai manufacturing plant in a quiet southeast Georgia community became ground zero on Thursday for one of the most extensive immigration raids in recent US history.
A major immigration raid, considered one of the most extensive in recent US history, took place at a Hyundai manufacturing plant in southeast Georgia, resulting in the arrest of 475 individuals, predominantly Korean nationals. Following the operation, South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung instructed officials to undertake "all-out necessary measures" to support the affected Korean nationals. Ambassador Cho stated his readiness to travel to Washington, DC, to engage directly with US officials to resolve the issue.
