Hyundai-LG site raid: South Korea warns US action may affect future investment; President Lee terms it ‘bewildering’

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung criticized a large-scale US immigration raid at a Hyundai-LG battery plant, warning it could deter future South Korean investments in America. Hundreds of South Korean workers were detained, causing shock and prompting Seoul to send a charter plane for their return. Negotiations secured their release under voluntary departures, avoiding deportation.
