CNN報導：韓國勞工就喬治亞州突襲執法挑戰川普政府

9月15日（路透社）——CNN週二報導，去年在喬治亞州一座現代電動車製造廠的移民突襲執法中被拘留的300多名韓國勞工，正對美國政府提出挑戰。Sept 15 (Reuters) - More than 300 South Korean workers who were detained in last year’s immigration raid at a Hyundai electric-vehicle manufacturing plant in Georgia are challenging the U.S. government, CNN reported on Tuesday.

去年9月，美國當局突襲現代汽車（Hyundai Motor）一座工廠，逮捕數百名勞工，其中多數為韓國籍。Hundreds of workers, most of whom are South Korean nationals, were arrested in a raid at a Hyundai Motor plant by U.S. authorities last September.

CNN報導引述代表索賠人的律師表示，代表這些勞工提出的行政索賠已開始送交9個聯邦機關；這是提起聯邦訴訟前的必要步驟。Administrative claims on behalf of the workers, a mandatory step before a federal lawsuit, have started to be filed with nine federal agencies, the CNN report said citing a lawyer representing the claimants.

報導並補充，相關機關包括美國國土安全部（Department of Homeland Security）、移民暨海關執法局（Immigration and Customs Enforcement）、海關暨邊境保護局（Customs and Border Protection）、聯邦調查局（FBI），以及司法部和勞工部。The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, the FBI and the Departments of Justice and Labor were among the agencies, it added.

這場針對喬治亞州工廠的突襲執法，被形容為美國國土安全部史上規模最大的單一地點執法行動。該工廠由現代汽車與韓國LG新能源（LG Energy Solution）的合資企業營運。The raid targeting the Georgia plant, operated through a joint venture between Hyundai and South Korea's LG Energy Solution was described as the largest single-site enforcement operation in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's history.

勞工手腕、腰部和腳踝被上銬的影片與照片，在美國的重要亞洲盟友韓國引發震撼。The video and photos of workers shackled at the wrists, waist and ankles sent shockwaves through South Korea, a key Asian ally of the United States.

勞工的手機遭沒收，有些人直到最終獲釋前，都無法通知在韓國的家人。Workers' phones were confiscated, and some were unable to inform their families back home until their eventual release.

現代汽車在一般上班時間以外，未立即回應路透社的採訪請求。美國國土安全部也未立即回應採訪請求。Hyundai did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
