This is pure bullshit. There is so much video. He got grabbed and brutalized because he looked brown. They disappeared him for days without legal counsel, medical care or even a call to his family to say where he was. They STILL won’t leave him alone. Ghoul ass gulag mindset
As CBP and ICE agents were executing criminal search warrants on July 10 at the marijuana sites in Camarillo, CA, George Retes—a U.S. citizen—became violent and refused to comply with law enforcement. He challenged agents and blocked their route by refusing to move his vehicle out of the road. CBP arrested Retes for assault. U.S. citizens are NOT “wrongfully” being arrested by ICE. DHS enforcement operations are highly targeted and are not resulting in the arrest of U.S. citizens. We do our due diligence. We know who we are targeting ahead of time. These types of smears are designed to demonize and villainize our brave ICE law enforcement. This kind of garbage has led to a more than 1000% increase in the assaults on enforcement officers.

Thank you, @JoaquinCastrotx for joining us during our Justice Journey trip to San Antonio where we continued the fight for our union sister, Nicole, & her family to be released from ICE detention. We saw your humanity when you paused your remarks to help someone in the audience who fainted. 💜 #SolidaritySummer

We are deeply alarmed by the latest actions from the Trump Administration targeting workers at agricultural fields, packinghouses, and other facilities from the Central Coast to the Central Valley. More below:

this is so nice. sí se puede.
When my family first landed in North America, my dad worked as a janitor. I'm thankful for labor leaders like David Huerta who look out for immigrant service workers. He will go down as a hero.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

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. seiuca.org/press-releases/20…

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.

United Farm Workers union members are being rounded up by ICE. You can donate to UFW here, they need all the help they can get: ufw.org/donate
UFW union members are among those detained while traveling home from work yesterday in Kern County, CA. We are providing them and their families with support. Random actions like this are not meant to keep anyone safe, they are intended to terrorize hardworking people.

Replying to @mauraloran
Radishes take 3-4 weeks from seed to harvest, longer in cooler temperatures. High quality hand harvested radishes are a labor intensive crop as Patricia demonstrates here. (Patricia’s skill, accuracy and speed is incredibly respected by her peers.)
