From Yonhap News Agency, machine-translated:
A 'detention log' obtained by Yonhap News on the 14th from worker Mr. A vividly detailed the horrific conditions of the detention facility and the human rights violations he endured.
Mr. A entered the country on a legal B1 visa (a short-term business visa used for business trips, etc.). He was arrested with his wrists bound by cable ties during a two-month business trip for meetings and training.
At 1:20 p.m., ICE agents handed out documents related to a warrant arrest for an alien and instructed him to fill in the blanks.
During this process, there was no explanation of the documents or any Miranda rights reading. The high-pressure atmosphere made it impossible to focus on interpreting each line of English while filling out the paperwork.
Mr. A recorded the situation, stating, "The workers thought submitting this paper would get them released, so they handed it over." After submitting the documents, red wristbands were placed on their wrists.
Workers dragged in without understanding why were crammed into temporary 72-person cells early in their detention. There were rooms numbered 1 through 5, and detainees were moved between them.
There were rows of bunk beds alongside four shared toilets and two urinals. There were no clocks, and they couldn't see outside. Mold had grown on the mattress pads.
After a long wait, Mr. A was taken to the interview location, breathing fresh air for the first time in three days. After having his fingerprints taken, two ICE agents examined his documents.
Their first question was, "What did you do?" Mr. A replied that he was on a business trip for business meetings and training.
After that, the agent, who had no other questions, asked if it was 'South Korea', and Mr. A answered that it was.
Upon hearing this, the employees spoke with smiling expressions and mentioned things like "North Korea" and "Rocket Man" (President Trump's nickname for North Korea's Kim Jong-un).
Mr. A wrote in his diary about the situation at the time, "I was upset because it seemed like they were joking and teasing me, but I held back because I was afraid something might go wrong with the documents."
At the end of the interview, Mr. A asked, "I entered through legal B-1 procedures and acted in accordance with those purposes. Why was I arrested?" The agent reportedly responded, "I don't know, and the people above think it was illegal."
Some agents reportedly made remarks to other detainees that admitted ICE's wrongdoing.
On the fourth day of detention, the 7th, four consulate general and Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff met with the detainees.
Mr. A said that the consulate general said, "The most important thing is for everyone to go home first. You must sign whatever you are asked to sign here."
It was also reported that he emphasized that if a dispute arises, he will not be able to escape detention for at least four months to several years.
Additionally, they were informed that if they signed, they would be forcibly deported, their visas would be cancelled, and they would be returned to their home country via a chartered plane.
At around 11 p.m. that night, Mr. A underwent formal admission procedures after four days. He changed into prison uniform for the first time and underwent a medical checkup, including height, weight, and blood pressure.
