The operation targeted one of Georgia's largest and most high-profile manufacturing sites, where Hyundai makes electric vehicles and is building an EV battery plant.

On Sunday, South Korean officials said they would send a plane to bring the detained workers home. Earlier, South Korea's Foreign Minister said his nation was "deeply concerned" by the arrests.

"We're going to do more worksite enforcement operations," White House border advisor Tom Homan said on Sunday. "No one hires an illegal alien out of the goodness of their heart. They hire them because they can work them harder, pay them less, undercut the competition that hires U.S. citizen employees.”

South Korea says it reached a deal with the U.S. to release more than 300 South Koreans detained in an immigration enforcement raid at a Georgia Hyundai plant.

President Donald Trump said foreign companies should bring workers in legally or hire Americans. Hundreds of workers were detained in an ICE raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia on Thursday. South Korea says it has finished talks with the US to return its detained nationals.
