Unions rally for arrested leader
In Washington, D.C., workers rallied across from the Justice Department on June 9 as part of national protests to end deportation raids and to free arrested California union leader David Huerta.
Huerta, President of the Service Employees International Union – United Service Workers West, was brutalized and arrested June 6 during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at a Los Angeles workplace.
Although Huerta was released on bond today, he is charged with federal conspiracy to impede an officer, which carries a six-year prison term — a court date of July 7.
In addition to rallies and marches across the country, at least one student walkout joined the large action in Los Angeles.
