00:00South Korea will repatriate 300 of its citizens this week after they were detained in a massive immigration raid at the Hyundai plant in Georgia.
00:11U.S. immigration agents arrested 475 people at the site last week, most of whom were South Korean.
00:30The video is released since the raid show workers being handcuffed and ankle cuffed, rounded up and put on buses.
00:44The U.S. officials said the arrested workers were suspected of living and working in the country illegally.
00:49It is however unclear what type of visa those arrested had or whether any of them overstayed it.
00:54Over the weekend, Seoul and Washington reached an agreement over the repatriation of the detainees.
01:01The South Korean Foreign Ministry said it did not want its citizens to be deported, but to leave the country voluntarily, meaning that they could potentially re-enter the U.S. at a later date.
