Lawyer says South Korean engineers and installers were doing authorized work at Hyundai

An immigration attorney says many South Korean workers detained in a U.S. immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia were brought in for highly specialized work that Americans aren't trained to perform.

The detentions have caused confusion, shock and a sense of betrayal among many people in South Korea, a key U.S. ally.
