- Feds move to drop case against LA labor leader David Huerta
Federal prosecutors filed a motion to drop charges against labor leader David Huerta, who was arrested in 2025 while protesting an ICE raid in Los Angeles. Huerta, leader of Service Employees International Union California, was initially charged with a felony but faced a reduced misdemeanor accusation. The Department of Justice stated the case should be dismissed by month's end, citing compliance with bond terms and a policy against arresting peaceful protesters.
