Georgia Republicans spent years building ties with companies in South Korea, culminating with Hyundai building a multi-billion dollar electric vehicle plant outside of Savannah.

But last week, a battery factory at the site was raided by federal immigration agents, who detained more than 300 South Korean citizens.
