South Korean Workers File Claims Against U.S. Over Immigration Raid at Hyundai Plant
- The claims are the first legal action stemming from a September 2022 immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia, described as the largest single-site operation in Department of Homeland Security history.
- Workers allege unlawful detention and mistreatment during the raid, including lack of interpreters, forced signatures on documents, and being shackled during their detention.
- Lawyers have initiated administrative claims across nine federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as a precursor to a federal lawsuit.
