The leader of the Seliformaryia urges the culprits to stop the Feds during the attack

Union leader David Huerta did not resign Wednesday in a miscarriage of justice charge related to the feud between officials who lived this summer.

Huerta, who is the 58-year-old president of Service Workers International California – a group that represents health care, construction workers and civil society workers – was banned on June 6 when he was named one of the attackers who attacked in the summer. He was released on his own recognizance and told to stay at least 100 meters away from state officials.

After his arrival, Huerta spoke to journalists, union members and supporters, to debunk the charges against him.

“These cases are baseless, they try to silence anyone who dares to speak, organize or seek justice,” said Huerta. “I will continue to stand with you until all workers and all families are safe from attacks, isolation and terror and our constitutional rights are protected.”

Chants of “¡se se puede!” broke out in the small crowd.

In a video of the incident obtained by the TV station KPIX, Huerta can be seen in a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles with his agents gathered from the waist and quickly tied up, tied by the back collar of his shirt.

According to the original original criminal complaint, Huerta is said to have testified “surprised” and “shouted” at Federal Enforcement officials as they tried to execute search warrants for suspected “illegal aliens.” The complaint alleged that Huerta also tried to block state-reinforced vehicles from exiting or entering the parking lot of the loungewear business and forced other protesters to sit in front of the vehicle.

After his arrest, prosecutors said they initially planned to charge Huerta with the Felony Felony of Decency for harassing an officer, which could carry a six-year sentence. He was released shortly after posting a $50,000 bond.

Huerta’s attorney, Marilyn Bednarski, said after the press conference that the charges were downgraded from a felony to a misdemeanor, she believes, due to a lack of strong evidence.

The detentions sparked a backlash from immigration and labor activists, becoming a flashpoint at the start of protests around California. The National Guard was sent to Los Angeles days later, leading to more city-to-city fighting.

“This control has turned into a military against our people, terrorizing all communities, and even allowed US citizens to exercise their constitutional rights to speak,” said Seiu West, press release. “

Top Democratic leaders also criticized federal officials for their treatment of HUERTA during and after his arrest, including the arrest of California and Alex Parchilla, Alex Schilla, Alex Pardilla, Alex.

“David Huerta is a respected leader, patriot and advocate for working people,” Nxendaba said in a statement at the time. “No one should be victimized for testifying to government action.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the California District announced last month that more people have been charged and arrested on domestic violence complaints. This office is also looking for charges against one person in federal custody and another who is yet to be arrested.

“The acts of violence against those who have the courage to enforce the law that protects us are an attack on civilized society itself,” we attyry. Gen. Pam Bondi said to Press release. “As today’s arrests and indictments show, anyone who engages in such despicable behavior will face serious consequences in this department of justice.”

Huerta’s trial is scheduled to begin on Jan 20, 2026.
