Work at Hyundai’s Georgia complex that manufactures electric vehicles has been suspended after federal authorities detained hundreds of workers in a major immigration enforcement operation on Thursday, officials said.

On Sept. 4, federal authorities entered a worksite in Bryan County, Georgia, where South Korean manufacturing companies Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution are building a $4.3 billion battery cell manufacturing plant.
