Sanctuary Information
David Huerta is a California labor leader who currently holds the position of president of SEIU-West. DHS agents arrested Huerta in June 2025 while he was observing and protesting the deployment of militarized ICE operations across Los Angeles and Southern California. This deployment also marked the first time National Guard was also deployed as part of a major immigration enforcement operation. Huerta’s violent arrest was captured on video and he sustained injuries which required medical treatment after his release from custody.
Huerta is still facing federal charges for peacefully observing an immigration raid. While he was initially charged with a felony, his charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. This case is ongoing.
