In a stunning turn of events that underscores the chaos surrounding U.S. immigration policy, Donald Trump personally offered hundreds of South Korean workers detained in a massive immigration raid the opportunity to stay in the country"and nearly every single one of them said no. The raid, which unfolded last week at Hyundai's $4.3 billion EV battery plant under construction in Georgia, resulted in the arrest of around 300 South Korean nationals and more than 150 others from various countries. The plant, one of the crown jewels of U.S.-South Korea industrial collaboration, has now become the unlikely epicenter of a diplomatic and political mess. According to South Korean officials, Trump privately offered the workers a deal: remain in the U.S. to help train American staff. The offer was made quietly, behind the scenes, and even delayed a chartered flight meant to take them back to Seoul. Only one worker accepted, according to Reuters.
