South Korean detained in US Hyundai factory raid speaks to BBC | BBC News

"One-by-one we were cuffed at the wrists and chained at the waist."

One of the Hyundai workers arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents has spoken to the BBC about what he and his colleagues faced during and after the raid at an electric vehicle battery plant in Georgia.

The South Korean government has said it is investigating potential human rights violations during the raid and detention of Korean workers by US authorities.

More than 300 South Korean workers returned home on Friday after being held for a week. The BBC has contacted the US ICE for comment.
