How is South Korea arranging a chartered flight to bring detained workers home from the U.S.?
The South Korean government is preparing to send a chartered flight to Atlanta this week. Officials will bring home Korean workers who were detained last week by US agents on charges of immigration violations. NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports they were working at a South Korean auto plant.
The Yonhop News Agency reports that the flight could leave as early as Wednesday with enough seats to bring home the more than 300 detained workers. South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyon flew to the US on Monday to oversee the process. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is calling the raid on the Hyundai LG Electric Vehicle and Battery Plant in Bryan County, Georgia, its biggest enforcement operation ever. South Korea has pledged to invest three hundred and fifty billion dollars in the US, but experts argue that US visa restrictions make it difficult to bring in the skilled workers needed to build factories. A survey by South Korean Polsters Realmeter found that sixty percent of respondents considered measures used in the raid excessive.

What are the implications of ICE’s largest enforcement raid at the Hyundai‑LG plant and the visa restrictions on Korean investment?
House Republicans are speaking out after a Ukrainian refugee was stabbed to death on a commuter train in North Carolina last month. Speaker Mike Johnson says twenty-three year old Irina Zaruzka was on her way home from her job at a pizzeria.
She fled amid the deadliest land war in Europe since World War Two. She fled to the safety or so she thought of the United States.
President Trump has denounced the suspect, calling him a madman and a lunatic. The man was later arrested and charged with first degree murder. During a speech on Monday, Trump appeared to use the attack to once again stress the need for federal troops to be deployed to large U.S. cities. Stocks are trading higher on Wall Street at this hour, the Dow up one hundred and twenty-two points, the NASDAQ up twenty nine.
What led to the murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train and how are House Republicans responding?
This is NPR News in Washington. A Democratic member of Congress from Texas is expressing concerns following a tour of an immigration detention facility run by the Trump administration. Priscilla Rice with member station KERA reports Congresswoman Julie Johnson spoke with some detainees being held by ICE.
Johnson says she's disturbed by what she saw at the Blue Bonnet detention facility located in Anson, two hundred miles west of Dallas. Johnson sits on the House Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, which has oversight of ICE. She visited the facility after constituents complained family members were there without resolution. That includes Dallas activist Omar Salassad, who was detained last week and is awaiting his first hearing. They haven't had access to lawyers. They haven't had hearings yet on a final deportation or whether or not they should be released on bond.
What did Congresswoman Julie Johnson see at the Blue Bonnet detention facility and why is it raising concerns?
ICE did not immediately respond to a comment request. For NPR News, I'm Priscilla
Rice in Dallas. A judge in Michigan has dismissed charges against fifteen people accused of posing as fake electors for Donald Trump in twenty twenty.
