David Huerta’s felony charge from a 2024 immigration raid was reduced to a misdemeanor amid claims he was peacefully observing, not obstructing.
David Huerta, president of Service Employees International Union California, had his felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor after being arrested during a June 2024 immigration raid in Los Angeles.
Originally charged with conspiracy to impede an officer, a felony carrying up to six years in prison, Huerta now faces a lesser charge with a maximum one-year sentence.
The U.S. attorney’s office cited new evidence and a reassessment of circumstances, though no details were released.
Huerta’s legal team argues he was exercising First Amendment rights by peacefully observing the raid, while federal authorities claim he obstructed agents.
The case has drawn national attention, with supporters calling it politically motivated and a test of labor and immigration rights.
A hearing is scheduled for later this month.
