U.S. Deputy State Secretary Landau expresses regrets over detention of S. Koreans | Yonhap News Agency
According to Seoul's foreign ministry, Landau conveyed his deep regrets over the detention of hundreds of South Korean workers in an immigration crackdown earlier this month at an electric vehicle battery plant construction site for a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution in Bryan County, Georgia.
A total of 316 South Korean workers returned home Friday, after being held in a detention center for a week.

After being detained for a full week by ICE despite valid documents these workers would be crazy to return. Employees coming to the US should demand hazard pay.
My Canadian friends use to cross the border often. Now they won't come at all & I don't blame them.
I run install teams from Japan on occasion. I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to return either.
It turns out that magat racism does indeed hurt the US and not help
Words are cheap. How will Landau compensate those wrongly detained by ICE? All of them, not just the South Koreans?
As a goodwill gesture to our valued guests, ICE will provide a coupon for a free night on your next stay.
But no food! You'll have to pay for that privilege.
You brainless american fascist twats. They will not be coming back and the retribution that South Korea will provide will be delicious to watch.
American here. I agree wholeheartedly.
The plot thickens
Frankly, I'm disgusted with the state of this country and a large chunk of the people within. Media companies are owned by fucking billionaires and just parrot whatever distractions are convenient for the moment with absolutely zero oversight (thank Reagan for going after the Fairness Doctrine, that fucking twat).
And the biggest problem? It works. It works really well. Only when a foreign news article makes it stateside does the gravity of the situation really present itself, but naturally it's dismissed as "propaganda" by these right wing fuckwits.
I fuckin bet he does.
I've read multiple times from pretty big names in European economics the US is becoming "uninvestable". Gee, I wonder why!
"We're so sorry. The persons responsible will not be held accountable and nothing will change. It will happen again."
Sorry enough to change anything?
Or is the US still going with hired goons and general assholeyness?
Are you nuts? Despite the crocodile tears it's all working as intended.
