Almost 500 people have been arrested at a Hyundai factory in the US state of Georgia by immigration authorities in the largest workplace raid of President Donald Trump's second term.
A majority of those detained at the 3,000-acre site, which was built by the Korean company to manufacture electric vehicles and has been operational for a year, are Korean nationals.
South Korea expressed "concern and regret" over the operation and urged the US government to respect the rights of its citizens.
The Department of Homeland Security told the BBC that agents executed a search warrant due to allegations of "unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes".
