Apparently a large group of South Koreans were kidnapped by ICE but Hyundai is saying none of them were Hyundai employees. LG Electronics apparently did have some employees kidnapped.

It also set off a bit of diplomatic nightmare as South Korean diplomatic staff flew in from DC and Atlanta to determine the status and health of their citizens.

Should be noted this is an $8 BILLION DOLLAR venture and critical to Georgia's economic future and this will likely have a lasting chilling impact on future investments.
