Around 300 South Korean workers detained in a Georgia immigration raid will leave the U.S. on September 10. The repatriation is organized by South Korea using a chartered plane and comes in response to a raid at the $4.3 billion Hyundai and LG Energy project site.

A group of approximately 300 South Korean workers, detained during an immigration raid in Georgia, is scheduled to leave the United States at 1430 local time on September 10, according to a report by Yonhap news agency citing an undisclosed diplomatic source.
