00:00New developments this morning after that massive immigration raid in Georgia.
00:06The U.S. and South Korea have struck a deal to release hundreds of detained workers.
00:12Seoul says more than 300 South Korean nationals detained last week in a federal raid at Hyundai's new electric vehicle plant
00:20will be put on a charter flight home once paperwork clears.
00:23They made up the bulk of 475 people swept up when federal agents stormed the underconstruction site,
00:30a $7.6 billion project slated to produce EV batteries and create thousands of jobs.
00:37Asked about the raid, President Trump said America still needs foreign expertise to help train workers in critical industries.
00:44It's a battery factory in that case, as I'm told.
00:47And, you know, when they're building batteries, if you don't have people in this country right now that know about batteries,
00:55maybe we should help them along and let some people come in and train our people to do, you know, complex things,
01:02whether it's battery manufacturing or computer manufacturing or building ships.
01:07So we're going to look at that whole situation.
01:10Meantime, South Korea's foreign minister is heading to Washington today for talks,
01:15including whether all detained workers could be sent back on a voluntary basis.
