After High-Profile ICE Raid, Trump Reportedly Wants Korean Workers to Stay in U.S.
Immigration,South Korea,Donald Trump
More than 300 South Koreans who were detained in a sweeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on a Hyundai-LG battery plant in Georgia last week will finally be going home on Thursday after a delay reportedly due to an offer from President Donald Trump for them to continue working in the U.S.
The detainees were initially set to depart the U.S. on Wednesday, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio told South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun during negotiations for their release that Trump wanted to “encourage” the Koreans to remain in the country, a foreign ministry official told South Korean news agency Yonhap.
