## Resource

Federal prosecutors are poised to drop charges against David Huerta, SEIU California’s longtime leader, after his arrest last year for protesting Trump-era immigration policies. His legal team argues the case was politically motivated, aimed at silencing dissent. With mounting pressure and a pattern of similar protest cases collapsing, the LA U.S. Attorney’s Office now says peaceful protest isn’t a crime—and Huerta’s misdemeanor charge may be dismissed by month’s end. Once hailed for immigrant integration work during the Obama years, Huerta remains a symbol of resistance against aggressive immigration enforcement.
