POOLER, Ga. (AP) — After more than 300 South Korean workers were taken into custody during a raid on an electric battery plant in Georgia, the country's foreign minister traveled to the U.S. this week in hopes of bringing them home.

The Koreans were among some 475 workers detained during last week's raid at the battery factory under construction on the campus of Hyundai’s sprawling auto plant west of Savannah.
