Departure timeline for Korean workers detained in immigration raid uncertain after flight canceled

ATLANTA (AP) — After the detention of more than 300 South Korean workers in an immigration raid at a Georgia battery plant last week, a charter plane arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday to bring them home. But its scheduled return carrying the workers in the afternoon was canceled, an airport spokesperson said.

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.
