Labor union leader’s protest case dropped by federal prosecutors
TL;DR Summary
Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles moved to dismiss the case against labor leader David Huerta, who was arrested while documenting a June 2025 immigration raid. The charges were downgraded and the trial canceled, with prosecutors signaling the case will be fully dismissed if Huerta remains compliant with release terms. The move follows a broader pattern of protest-related immigration prosecutions that have struggled at trial, drawing criticism from Huerta and his attorneys while the DOJ insists it does not target peaceful protesters.
