A specially chartered Boeing 747 left Atlanta on Thursday carrying hundreds of South Korean workers arrested in a Trump-ordered immigration raid at Hyundai's Georgia battery plant – the largest such operation since his renewed crackdown began.

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.

South Korean workers detained in an immigration raid last week in the U.S. state of Georgia will depart from the U.S. around 1430 local time on Wednesday.
