Sept. 9 (UPI) -- A chartered plane will ferry hundreds of South Koreans home from Atlanta after they were detained for illegally working at a Hyundai electric battery plant in Georgia.

About 300 South Korean nationals were among 475 people detained by federal agents on Thursday at the under-construction electric battery plant in Ellabell, Ga.

The South Korean government is sending a chartered plane to Atlanta on Wednesday morning to remove those who want to return to South Korea, according to CNN.

The aircraft likely will depart Atlanta during the afternoon.
