Headline: UNCAPTIONED: South Korean Workers Return Home After U.S. Hyundai Plant Raid
Caption: South Korean Workers Return Home After U.S. Hyundai Plant Raid. More than 300 South Korean workers detained in last week's immigration raid at a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia are now on their way home. A chartered flight carrying them and several other foreign nationals left Atlanta on Thursday and is due to land at Incheon Airport on Friday afternoon. The return was delayed after President Donald Trump ordered a pause to see if some workers would remain to help train Americans. One South Korean has reportedly chosen to stay and apply for residency. President Lee Jae-myung has called the raid "bewildering," warning it could make Korean companies hesitant to invest in the U.S. Seoul is now pressing Washington for new visa categories to prevent future disputes. Hyundai's CEO says the raid will delay the factory's opening by at least two to three months. Korean media have called the incident a "shock," warning it could damage trust between the two allies at a time of sensitive trade talks. Poland to Bolster Military After Russian Drone Breach.
