More than 300 South Korean workers arrested in a US immigration raid in Georgia
last September are preparing legal action against the federal government,
lodging administrative claims with nine agencies including the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the FBI, the
Justice Department and the Labor Department. Plaintiffs allege unlawful
detention and poor conditions in custody and seek compensation for lost wages,
seized property and emotional distress; their lawyer declined to disclose the
amount claimed.
