South Korea's government has held an emergency meeting and vowed to swiftly respond to the arrests of hundreds of its citizens in a massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in the US.
Seoul has dispatched diplomats to the site in Georgia, while LG Energy Solution, which operates the plant with Hyundai, said it was suspending most business trips to the US.
US officials detained 475 people - mostly South Korean nationals - who they said were found to be illegally working at the battery facility, one of the largest foreign investment projects in the state.

Many of the LG employees arrested were on business trips with various visas or under a visa waiver programme, (Korean) officials say.

So 450 people detained, of which 30 had Visas? That means 420 without? Are we burying lead here?

I think that @LuFins-Dad has a good point. Hyundai and LG have to have a lot responsibility for this.
However, as big of a economic plant this is in Georgia, it could have/should have been handled better.
And as @jon-nyc says, hate to have any "erosion" in US-ROK relations and have ROK improve things with PRC.
