Labor Leaders and Immigrant Advocates Rally in San Francisco After SEIU Leader's Arrest
San Francisco Rally Supports Arrested Labor Leader San Francisco witnessed a passionate rally on June 10, 2025, in support of David Huerta, a leader of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), arrested in Los Angeles the previous Friday. The charges stem from Huerta's alleged obstruction of federal agents during an immigration raid. The protest, organized by union leaders and immigrant advocates, drew a significant crowd. "The time has come for everyday Americans to realize that our society and our democracy are at risk," stated one speaker at the rally, highlighting concerns about the increasing tension between labor organizations and federal immigration enforcement. Another participant added, "We have to stand up to ICE; we have to stand up to this federal overreach." The rally underscored the deep divisions and ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and their impact on workers' rights in the United States. The event concluded with a renewed call for justice and a commitment to continue fighting for workers' rights and immigrant communities. The rally served as a powerful demonstration of solidarity and a platform for expressing concerns about the fairness and impact of current immigration enforcement practices.
