Hundreds of Korean nationals will make it back to their home soil following last week’s massive ICE raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia.

The office of South Korea’s president, Lee Jae Myung says they’ve finalized negotiations with U.S. officials to release 300 workers and arrange a charter flight back to Korea.

The Homeland Security Division in Georgia said the raid resulted from a months-long investigation into allegations of illegal hiring at the automaker’s facility.

After he sent a warning about cracking down on companies hiring immigrants, U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to making a slight concession regarding the Hyundai raid, saying he will look into the situation and his trading relationship with South Korea is still good.
