SEIU President David Huerta was arrested during a protest in Los Angeles against ICE raids, illustrating the harsh realities immigrant workers face, including repression and scapegoating. Many in the labor movement, including medical interns and workers, share similar experiences of precarious employment. Huerta's unwavering commitment to advocating for immigrant rights emphasizes the historical role of labor leaders in combating injustice and supporting the visibility of these workers who hold vital roles in society, despite attempts to render them silent and invisible.
Huerta was arrested this month in Los Angeles while protesting citywide raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), exercising his right to speak out - something the labor movement has done for centuries.
Many of our members are also immigrant workers. They are young doctors serving in public hospitals across the country, often with tenuous visa statuses, working long hours in chronically understaffed conditions.
