South Korea will bring home 300 workers detained in massive Hyundai plant raid in Georgia

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — More than 300 South Korean workers detained following a massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia will be released and brought home, the South Korean government announced Sunday.

Kang Hoon-sik, chief of staff for President Lee Jae Myung, said South Korea and the U.S. had finalized negotiations on the workers’ release. He said South Korea plans to send a charter plane to bring the workers home as soon as remaining administrative steps are completed.

South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said that Seoul and Washington are discussing details on allowing all the detained workers to return on a voluntary basis. It said Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is to leave for the U.S. on Monday afternoon for talks related to the workers’ releases.

MS-13, Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel are mentioned every time the DOJ rousts a bunch of hispanic maids and gardeners. Trump needs a South Korean boogeyman to gin up anti-Asian sentiment.
