DOJ Drops Prosecution of CA Union Leader Over LA ICE Raid Protest

The U.S. Department of Justice moved to dismiss charges against California union leader David Huerta, president of SEIU United Service Workers West, stemming from a June 2025 protest against an ICE operation in Los Angeles. Prosecutors had downgraded the charges from conspiracy to impede an officer to a misdemeanor, and now seek dismissal with prejudice by the end of August, effectively ending the case. Huerta and his lawyers say the charges were baseless and an attempt to intimidate dissent, while DOJ officials have argued it does not arrest people for peaceful protest. The case highlighted ongoing tensions over arrests of protesters at immigration operations.
