Operations at Hyundai’s US$7.6 billion EV manufacturing plant, which employs about 1,200 people, were not interrupted.
South Korea on Friday expressed “concern and regret” over a major US immigration raid at a sprawling Georgia site where South Korean auto company Hyundai manufactures electric vehicles.
South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lee Jaewoong described the number of detained South Koreans as “large”, though he did not provide an exact figure.
His ministry would not confirm or deny South Korean media reports saying that about 300 South Koreans were detained in Georgia on Thursday.
