Koreans detained in Georgia battery plant raid preparing class action lawsuit against ICE
Korean workers detained during an immigration raid at a Georgia EV battery plant in September are preparing a class-action lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ABC News reported Monday.
Roughly 200 workers, including a man identified as Kim, are accusing ICE of unlawful detention, racial profiling, human rights violations and excessive use of force. The raid targeted a joint Hyundai Motor—LG Energy Solution EV battery factory under construction near Savannah, Georgia.
The Korean workers had entered the United States on B-1 business visas. They were dispatched as skilled technicians to train American employees and help set up production lines.
On the morning of Sept. 4, ICE agents stormed the site, halting operations. “Agents armed with guns stormed the site, helicopters and drones circled overhead — it felt like a scene from a movie,” Kim said.
ICE agents reportedly presented arrest warrants in English, which most of the Korean workers could not fully understand.
More than 500 workers were detained in the raid, including about 300 Koreans. ICE described it as “the largest-ever enforcement action at a single worksite in U.S. history.”
