Detained South Korean workers flying home

A flight carrying hundreds of South Korean workers who were detained by US immigration authorities in Georgia last week departed late Thursday morning, according to CNN Correspondent Gustavo Valdes, who witnessed the plane take off at Hartsfield-Jackson International airport in Atlanta.

The workers were taken into custody last Thursday during a sweeping ICE operation at a battery plant under construction in Ellabell, approximately 25 miles west of Savannah. The plant is a joint venture between Hyundai and LG Energy Solution, two giants of South Korean industry that have made major investments in the US. #CNN #News
