Introduction
In a recent development, the US and South Korea have concluded talks regarding the release of South Korean workers detained in a Hyundai raid. This news comes after US officials revealed that the workers, including more than 300 South Koreans, were found to be working illegally in the country.
Key Details
The Hyundai raid occurred in February 2018, where US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided several plants owned by the South Korean automaker in the US. During the raid, around 500 workers were arrested, with more than 300 of them being identified as South Koreans. The workers were found to be working without proper authorization, and as a result, were detained by the US authorities.
Impact
The conclusion of talks between the two countries is a significant step towards the release of the detained South Korean workers. This move is expected to ease tensions between the US and South Korea, as the latter has been pushing for the release of its citizens. The incident has also shed light on the issue of undocumented workers in the US, highlighting the need for stricter immigration policies to prevent such cases in the future.
