Born and raised in LA County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And 750,000 SEIU workers are standing with him.

Let’s be clear: this is not about national security. This is retaliation against our union for standing up for federal workers - and a warning to every American: fall in line, or else.
But we won't back down. We are fighting back with everything we have.

Often when people think about unions, "they think of a white guy in a hard hat. But in fact, studies show that about two-thirds of working people who are covered by a union contract are women and/or people of color” @LaneWindham, KI Assistant Director
