California labor leader David Huerta was arrested during an anti-ICE protest and charged with “conspiracy to impede an officer.” Released on a $50,000 bond, Huerta, who represents over 750,000 workers through SEIU, reaffirmed his call for nonviolent resistance. His arrest during a federal immigration raid has ignited outrage, with SEIU President April Verrett warning of broader threats to democracy. Local protests escalated into unrest as Trump’s immigration crackdown deepens tensions in Los Angeles. Governor Newsom now faces direct threats from the White House after challenging ICE publicly.
