[theqoo] "NOT GOING TO KOREA!" OUT OF THE 317 DETAINED KOREANS, ONE MAN CHOSE NOT TO BOARD CHARTERED FLIGHT BACK TO KOREA AND REMAIN IN THE U.S...

According to diplomatic sources on the 12th, of the 317 Koreans arrested on the 4th at the Hyundai Motor–LG Energy Solution joint plant in Georgia, all but one were released on the 11th in the form of voluntary departure.

The remaining man is reportedly pursuing legal action against the U.S. government. Depending on the outcome of his lawsuit, other detainees may also have grounds to file for compensation.

This man is known to be a U.S. permanent resident, unlike most of the others who were on ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) or short-term business (B-1) visas. In addition, he has family in the U.S., so voluntary departure would not have been particularly advantageous for him.

Legal experts note that although the U.S. government promised not to impose any penalties on those who were released, choosing not to voluntarily leave could be more favorable when filing a lawsuit against the U.S. government.

If he engaged only in activities permitted under his legal status but still suffered damages due to what is seen as excessive enforcement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), he may have grounds to claim compensation for unlawful arrest and detention.

Of the Korean nationals detained by U.S. immigration authorities, most are being released through voluntary departure and will return home, while one person who chose to remain in the U.S. is expected to pursue legal proceedings while still in detention.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 11th, 316 Koreans were released from U.S. detention facilities that day.

Out of all the detained Koreans, only one opted to stay in the U.S., and he is reportedly an applicant for permanent residency. It is understood that he remained because his family resides locally.

This individual plans to carry out immigration-related trials and other legal procedures while continuing to be held in custody. The government has said it will provide the necessary consular assistance.

Although legal measures such as bail exist that could potentially ease his detention, for now he is required to remain in the facility.
