Korean workers detained during an immigration raid at a Georgia EV battery plant in September are preparing a class-action lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ABC News reported Monday.

Roughly 200 workers, including a man identified as Kim, are accusing ICE of unlawful detention, racial profiling, human rights violations and excessive use of force. The raid targeted a joint Hyundai Motor—LG Energy Solution EV battery factory under construction near Savannah, Georgia.

    Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.

    Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.
