Описание:

David Huerta, president of California’s SEIU, was arrested on Friday for allegedly blocking a gate at an ICE staging area in Los Angeles and refusing to move when asked by federal officers. He faces a felony charge of conspiracy to impede an officer, with a potential sentence of up to six years in prison. The arrest has drawn criticism from Governor Gavin Newsom and other Democratic leaders, and protests and ICE raids continued over the weekend, resulting in 44 undocumented immigrants being arrested.
