SEIU California President David Huerta was arrested while protesting an immigration raid in Los Angeles, triggered by Trump’s strong immigration policies. His release on a $50,000 bond came after public backlash from labor and immigrant rights advocates, who viewed the raid and his arrest as a violation of free speech. Huerta's arrest was condemned by various Democratic leaders who stressed that the issues surrounding his detainment highlight broader concerns over the treatment of immigrant communities and the increasing militarization of law enforcement in dealing with dissent.
David Huerta was arrested while standing up for immigrants' rights. Today, a judge set him free after federal authorities attacked, injured, and unjustly detained him since Friday.
This struggle is about much more than just one man. Thousands of workers remain unjustly detained and separated from their families.
At this very moment, immigrant communities are being terrorized by heavily militarized armed forces. The Trump regime calling in the National Guard is a dangerous escalation to target people who disagree with them.
