'Georgia Hyundai Workers To Sue ICE Over Detainment'
"Back in September, stormtroopers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 475 workers at a Hyundai and LG battery plant in Georgia. Most of the detained workers hailed from South Korea — a full 317 of the 475 — which caused a major international incident and led South Korean companies to halt investment nearby. The South Korean workers were eventually rescued, as their nation's government chartered a flight to get them out of the horrid conditions in which they were detained, but it seems they're not done with ICE yet. Now, 200 of the detained workers will sue the agency."
"The Korea Times reported yesterday that roughly 200 workers from the Hyundai-LG plant plan to sue ICE. Many of the detained workers were in the United States legally, having been granted visas, yet that didn't stop ICE from locking them in cramped, unsanitary rooms of up to 80 people. A lawsuit won't be able to undo the detainment, but it might grant the South Korean workers a bit of justice — or at least pay some therapy bills."
