U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained nearly 500 people at a Hyundai Motor Group manufacturing site in Savannah, Georgia. Officials said about 300 of those detained were South Koreans.

The raid took place Thursday at the HLGA battery plant site in southeast Georgia, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, as part of a months-long probe into alleged unlawful employment practices and other federal crimes.

Of those encountered, 475 people were found to be in the country illegally or otherwise in violation of their status and were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A majority were Korean nationals, according to U.S. Attorney Meg Heap and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Steve Schrank, though investigators are still reviewing nationality breakdowns.
