John,
On Friday afternoon, military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. At one location, SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. While he has been released from the hospital, he remains in federal custody.
Since then, the Trump administration has only escalated its attacks on the Los Angeles community, deploying the military against our own people. This is a clear attack on our communities, workers and our First Amendment rights. Demand that David Huerta be freed and ICE raids end immediately.
Tomorrow, June 9th, we are organizing rapid-response rallies around the country to show that we stand with David and all workers targeted by ICE. There are already rallies popping up―check to see if there’s one near you, or organize your own!
