South Koreans arrested by US authorities are due to be repatriated on Thursday, after their flight was delayed by a row over whether they should wear handcuffs and an offer from Donald Trump that the workers at the centre of an immigration raid be allowed to stay.

“The US wanted to handcuff our workers on their way to the airport, but we insisted that it should not be that way,” said Lee, adding that the flight was further delayed after “Trump’s order that those who don’t want to go back don’t have to”.
President Trump told US officials to “encourage” the workers arrested at the Georgia plant to continue working in the country and help train Americans, according to South Korean officials cited by the state-owned news agency Yonhap.

I'm glad to see our immigration policies/enforcement/industrial strategy plans continue to be coherent and in alignment.
