Seoul holds emergency meeting after citizens detained in US Hyundai raid

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a raid at a Hyundai supplier factory in Alabama, detaining 475 workers, the majority of whom were South Korean nationals. The South Korean government held an emergency meeting in response to this incident, expressing concerns over the treatment of its citizens and pledging to take appropriate diplomatic actions. The raid was part of an ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration in the US, with the authorities claiming the workers were employed without proper documentation. The incident has raised diplomatic tensions between the US and South Korea, as both countries work to address the situation and ensure the rights and well-being of the detained individuals are protected.
