The plant is still under construction as part of a \\$7.6 billion factory complex focused on making battery cells for electric vehicles. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/south-korean-workers-return-home-cheers-week-after-us-immigration-raid-2025-09-12\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Returning Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a week in detention, over <strong>300 South Korean nationals<\/strong> returned home on <strong>September 12<\/strong>, aboard a chartered Korean Air flight, greeted with cheers, family members, and government officials at Incheon International Airport. Many of those detained were among the approx. <strong>475 workers<\/strong> picked up in the <strong>South Korean immigration raid<\/strong>, some of whom were also from other countries like China, Japan, and Indonesia.

Some said the raid was \u201clike a military operation,\u201d with agents arriving in helicopters and armoured vehicles, separating people based on visa status (ESTA, B-1, etc.). Phones were confiscated, and many couldn\u2019t contact family during detention.

Meanwhile, South Korean officials \u2014 including Foreign Minister <strong>Cho Hyun<\/strong> \u2014 negotiated for their safe return and proposed changes in the U.S. visa system, including potentially creating a new visa category for specialists.

Citizens and political leaders expressed outrage, especially over the way the workers were handcuffed and shackled. Many questioned whether this type of treatment is acceptable for an ally. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/china\/like-military-operation-koreans-describe-anxiety-after-us-immigration-raid-2025-09-12\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Political Response<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>President <strong>Lee Jae Myung<\/strong> warned that unless the visa situation improves, South Korean companies may rethink investing in the U.S. The battery plant\u2019s startup is now expected to be delayed by at least <strong>two to three months<\/strong> because of the raid.

One idea: a working group to craft clearer rules on visas for foreign specialists helping to build U.S. industrial projects. This is important not just for fairness, but also for the credibility of investment\u2011agreements and the economic ties between the two countries.
