On Friday afternoon, June 6, 2025, military-gear-clad Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. At one location, SEIU, USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. While he has been released from the hospital, he remains in federal custody.

This is a clear attack on our communities, workers, and our First Amendment rights. In support of immigrant children and families, the future of California, and our union siblings, we demand that David Huerta be freed and ICE raids end immediately.

Call to Action:

Body of email:

Dear Name,

On Friday afternoon, military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. At one location, SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. While he has been released from the hospital, he remains in federal custody. 

Since then, the Trump administration has only escalated its attacks on the Los Angeles community, deploying the military against our own people. This is a clear attack on our communities, workers and our First Amendment rights. Demand that David Huerta be freed and ICE raids end immediately.

We are organizing rapid-response rallies around the country to show that we stand with David and all workers targeted by ICE. There are already rallies popping up―check to see if there’s one near you, or organize your own!

How to Host an Event

1. Check to see if there’s an event in your area.
2. Register your event here. Be sure to host it on public property, like a city park, and not on Federal property.
3. Use our toolkit to get ready!

Stand up and demand: #FreeDavidEndRaids!

In solidarity,

[YOUR NAME]
