On Friday, military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. At one location, SEIU United Service Workers West President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He remains in federal custody.

In the days since, the Trump administration has only escalated its attacks on the Los Angeles community and has now deployed the military against civilians. This is a clear attack on our communities, workers, and our First Amendment rights.

Today at 12 PM in DC, 32BJ SEIU, CASA, and allies in nationwide solidarity will rally to demand that David Huerta be freed and ICE raids end immediately. 

Unions don’t just fight for wages — we fight for justice. When ICE arrested David Huerta, they attacked our movement.

Actions are taking place in more than two dozen cities across the country today in solidarity with Los Angeles communities and to demand David Huerta's release and an end to ICE raids.

Join 32BJ SEIU, CASA, and allies from across the region outside the Department of Justice (1001 Pennsylvania Ave NW) today at 12 PM.

In solidarity, 
The Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO
