Undocumented foreign workers in Korea can be arrested by the immigration officers without the arrest warrants, and they will be detained in the detention centers before the deportation to the home country.
Since 2007, nine undocumented foreign workers were killed and twelve were seriously injured during the crackdown process. "The number of accidents would be higher, because some cases may not have been reported to the authority", an immigrants advocacy organization said.
