Gillibrand Statement On Arrest of SEIU California President David Huerta

Jun 11, 2025
Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement following the arrest of SEIU California President David Huerta at a protest in Los Angeles.
“The arrest of SEIU California President David Huerta in Los Angeles is yet another disturbing example of the Trump administration’s retaliation towards innocent Americans exercising their right to free speech. President Huerta has dedicated his life to advocating for American workers, from nurses to public service employees, who are the backbone of our nation. While I am pleased to know that President Huerta was released, I am nonetheless distraught and deeply concerned about the precedent this administration is setting.”
