South Korea announced that a chartered plane scheduled to return detained workers from an immigration raid in the United States will not be able to depart as planned on Wednesday. The decision comes amid ongoing discussions and negotiations regarding the situation of the detained workers.
The aircraft was initially arranged to evacuate the South Korean nationals who had been detained following the raid. However, authorities in the United States have indicated that the departure will be delayed until further arrangements are made, without specifying an exact new departure date.
This development has garnered attention from both South Korean officials and the affected workers’ families. The South Korean government has stated it is actively engaged with U.S. authorities to resolve the matter and facilitate the safe release and return of its nationals.
There has been no official indication of the reasons behind the delay. Both countries continue to work towards a resolution that will allow the detained workers to return to South Korea.
