Robin Levinson KingBBC News US immigration authorities have raided a massive Hyundai manufacturing site in Georgia, leading to the arrest of over 450 people, according to one of the agencies involved in the operation. The 3,000-acre site, which was built by the Korean automobile manufacturer to make electric vehicles, had been operational for a year. The Department of Homeland Security told the BBC's US partner CBS News that agents executed a search warrant due to allegations of "unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes". Korean nationals were among those detained, the South Korean foreign ministry said, calling it an "unjust infringement" of their rights. In a post on X, the Atlanta office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said it joined a number of other agencies including ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to arrest 450 "unlawful aliens" at the plant in Bryan County. It is unclear how many South Koreans were detained. "The economic activities of Korean investment companies and the rights and interests of Korean citizens must not be unfairly infringed upon during US law enforcement operations," the foreign ministry statement said. The ministry added that it was dispatching diplomats to the site. "In Seoul, we also conveyed our concerns and regrets today through the US Embassy in Korea and urged them to exercise extreme caution to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of Korean citizens are not infringed upon." South Korean companies have promised to invest billions of dollars in key US industries in the coming years, partly as a way to avoid tariffs. The state's governor, Republican Brian Kemp, had touted Hyundai's new electric vehicle operation as the biggest economic development project in the state's history, employing 1,200 people. The search by federal agencies had also shut down construction on an adjacent battery plant, CBS News reports. President Trump campaigned for his second term in office on the back of a pledge to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants although he said the priority would be those who committed crimes.

The president said that 600,000 Chinese student visas are back on after initially revoking them.

Brandon Drenon and Robin Levinson-KingBBC News, Washington DC and Boston BBC For the last few weeks, many foreign students living in the US have watched as a sequence of events has repeated itself on their social media feeds: plain-clothes agents appearing unannounced and hauling students off in unmarked cars to detention centres. Those taken into custody in a string of high-profile student detentions captured on video have not faced any criminal charges and instead appear to have been targeted for involvement in pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.
