Following a significant U.S. immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant near Savannah, which resulted in the detention of approximately 300 South Koreans, South Korean officials are pledging to assist those affected. During an emergency meeting in Seoul on Saturday, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun emphasized the need for "all-out efforts" to resolve the situation, including potential trips to the U.S. by high-ranking officials and support from the Korean Embassy in Washington and the Consulate General in Atlanta. The raid, the largest in Homeland Security Investigations history, was linked to a months-long investigation into undocumented work at the construction site.
