A deal was reached between South Korea and the United States to release more than 300 workers detained in at a massive Hyundai plant in Georgia, the South Korean government announced Sunday.

During the raid on Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 475 immigrants suspected of living and working in the U.S. illegally, authorities said at the time. According to South Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, more than 300 of the detained workers were South Korean nationals.

South Korea's presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik said that negotiations had been finalized on the workers' releases, and they would be returned to South Korea as soon as the remaining administrative steps are completed. South Korea plans to send a charter plane for them, he said.
