immigration raid south korea going home.

Workers from South Korea who were detained last week in an immigration raid at a battery factory in Georgia were headed to Atlanta on Thursday, where a charter plane was waiting to take them home. More than 300 Koreans were among about 475 workers detained during last week’s raid at the battery factory under construction on the campus of Hyundai’s sprawling auto plant west of Savannah. The workers had been held at an immigration detention center in Folkston, in southeast Georgia. South Korea’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that U.S. authorities have released the 330 detainees — 316 of them Koreans. The group also includes 10 Chinese nationals, three Japanese nationals and one Indonesian.
