475 people, mostly South Korean nationals, were arrested in a massive immigration raid at a Hyundai facility in Georgia.
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung's office announced the detained workers will be returned to South Korea on a chartered flight.
The raid was part of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants and is the largest single-site enforcement operation in DHS history.
47 LG Energy Solution employees (46 Korean) and 250 personnel from partner companies (mostly Korean) were detained.
The incident strained U.S.-South Korea relations, occurring shortly after a summit where South Korean firms pledged $150 billion in U.S. investments.
