Hundreds of Korean workers detained in Georgia to file lawsuit against ICE

Hundreds of Korean engineers who were arrested and detained during an immigration raid at a Hyundai-LG Energy Solution battery plant in Georgia in September are preparing to sue U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), alleging unlawful detention and mistreatment.

According to industry sources and a report by ABC News earlier this week, roughly 200 of those detained in the weeklong ordeal are preparing to file a lawsuit against ICE, alleging racial discrimination, human rights violations and excessive use of force during their arrests and detention. They are seeking compensation for damages.

The Korean detainees were eventually released on Sept. 11 without any charges against them, but many say the psychological scars remain.

Companies employing the detained workers, including LG Energy Solution and Hyundai Engineering, said that they are not involved in the matter, as "the lawsuit is being pursued on an individual basis."
