Plugged In: Battery plant raid tests Georgia’s ties with South Korea
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
Georgia Republicans spent years building ties with companies in South Korea, culminating with Hyundai building a multi-billion dollar electric vehicle plant outside of Savannah.
But last week, a battery factory at the site was raided by federal immigration agents, who detained more than 300 South Korean citizens.
On this week’s episode of “Plugged In,” hosts Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali take a closer look at the ongoing fallout from the Hyundai raid.
Plus, WABE Immigration Reporter Emily Wu Pearson takes listeners to a federal immigration detention facility in Georgia.
