Donald Trump plans to illegally cut all federal funding for child care, throwing parents into disarray and forcing them to choose between going to work or taking care of their children.

California invests in our children and families. We will not let them fall behind.

When Huerta says “We are a power”

He means the farmworker, the janitor, the nurse, the home care provider. The workers.
And he’s right.

You can’t detain a movement.

Yesterday, David Huerta, a champion for SEIU workers across California and a friend, was detained and injured by ICE while exercising his first amendment right.

No one in our country should be subjected to harm for legally & peacefully protesting. David should be released from custody immediately.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

Why would Trump’s ICE target an American labor leader and unjustly brutalize him in broad daylight?

I’ll show you why 🗣️

Today someone I know who has fought for low wage workers his whole life was detained while observing an ICE raid. David Huerta is a citizen and a proud Angeleno. He must be released now. If this can happen to David, it can happen to anyone. It’s unacceptable.
An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

I am outraged by the arrest and injury of SEIU California President David Huerta during today’s ICE raids in Los Angeles. David, a steadfast advocate for immigrant workers was, as reported, detained while peacefully observing federal enforcement — a clear violation of his rights.

David Huerta, the president of SEIU California, was just injured and detained by ICE for exercising his First Amendment rights.

This is immoral and un-American.

The Trump secret police are terrorizing people across CA. They’re grabbing people from work sites, injuring people & now have arrested the President of SEIU CA, David Huerta.

David is one of our great labor leaders. He’s dedicated his life fighting for low wage workers.

I stand with David Huerta.
