South Korea Deports 17 People from Central and Southeast Asia with Terrorism Ties

If this happened in the US the media would probably be claiming racial profiling and activists would use legal action to stop the deportations.  In Korea deporting people with terrorism ties is considered common sense:

South Korea has deported 17 foreigners in a preemptive anti-terror action before the PyeongChang Olympics in February, the immigration office said Tuesday.

They were from five countries, including unidentified ones in Southeast and Central Asia, according to the Korea Immigration Service.

They were either members of international terrorist groups specified in the country’s Anti-Terror Law or those on a wanted list shared by a network of intelligence agencies. Detailed information about them was unavailable.

“We have deported 17 foreigners who could potentially pose a terrorist menace to the Olympics,” an immigration official said. “It was possible with the close cooperation and intelligence sharing of spy agencies in 50 countries.”

He did not elaborate, but said the government will spare no effort to make the Olympics a success.

“We must be very thorough in counter-terrorism as athletes and people all over the world are coming to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics,” he said.

“We don’t rule out the possibility that foreign terrorists could enter (the country) by pretending to be Olympics travelers or hired workers at Korean companies. So we have to be vigilant before and during the Olympics.”  [Korea Times]
