A Hyundai plant in the United States has been stormed by federal agents, with hundreds of workers detained.
Most of the 475 workers detained at the car battery factory were South Korean nationals.
The raid has been labelled as one of the largest single-site enforcement operations that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has ever carried out and is part of President Donald Trump's focus on undocumented workers.
The plant is a flagship electric vehicle battery site, designed to be a huge economic development opportunity for the state of Georgia, where it is located.
ICE later released footage of workers being escorted off the premises in shackles.
The incident has led South Korea to send diplomats out to the site, with repatriation plans underway.
Kang Hoon-sik, chief of staff for South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, confirmed on Sunday that a charter plane will be dispatched to bring 300 workers home as soon as administrative processes allow.
