David Huerta, the president of the Service Employees International Union California, was injured and detained while documenting an ICE raid in Los Angeles. His detention sparked protests demanding his release, with demonstrators vocalizing their opposition to ICE. Huerta emphasized that this incident represents a broader issue of injustice faced by immigrant communities, stating that those contributing to society are unjustly treated as criminals. While he claims he was exercising his rights, federal authorities accused him of obstructing their operations, underscoring a clash between community activism and federal law enforcement actions.
"What happened to me is not about me; This is about something much bigger. This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice that's happening."
"This is not justice. Hard-working people, and members of our family and our community, are being treated like criminals. We all collectively have to object to this madness."
