South Korean workers detained by ICE return home after diplomatic crisis

Over 300 workers were detained in chains for days, separated from families, causing psychological trauma to detainees and their relatives who feared for their safety and wellbeing.

More than 300 South Korean workers, detained by U.S. immigration agents at a Georgia battery plant and held in chains for days, have returned home to Seoul — ending a week that exposed a deep tension at the heart of the American alliance system: the contradiction between courting foreign investment and enforcing immigration policy against the very workers that investment requires. The incident has shaken a seventy-year partnership built on shared sacrifice, and now raises the oldest of diplomatic questions — whether trust, once visibly broken, can be quietly repaired.
