Калифорни дахь цагаачлалын бодлогыг эсэргүүцэгчдийн эсрэг явуулсан ажиллагааны үеэр баривчлагдсан үйлдвэрчний эвлэлийн удирдагчийн хэргийг хэрэгсэхгүй болгох хүсэлтийг АНУ-ын прокурорын газар гаргалаа.
АНУ-ын Лос-Анжелес дахь прокурорын газар Даваа гарагт SEIU California үйлдвэрчний эвлэлийн ерөнхийлөгч Дэвид Хуэртад холбогдох хэргийг хэрэгсэхгүй болгох албан ёсны хүсэлт гаргажээ. 750 мянга гаруй гишүүнтэй тус байгууллагын удирдагчийг 2025 оны зургадугаар сард болсон жагсаалын үеэр баривчилсан юм. Анх түүнд гэмт хэргийн шинжтэй саад учруулсан гэх хүндрүүлсэн ял тулгаж байсан ч хожим нь зүйлчлэлийг хөнгөрүүлж, зөрчлийн хэрэг болгон өөрчилсөн байна.
Дэвид Хуэртын өмгөөлөгчид уг хэргийг улс төрийн зорилготой, хууль зүйн үндэслэлгүй байсан гэж мэдэгдэв. Тэдний үзэж буйгаар энэхүү ажиллагаа нь АНУ-ын засаг захиргааны цагаачлалын бодлогыг шүүмжлэгчдийн дуу хоолойг боомилох оролдлого байсан гэжээ.
Харин прокурорын газраас тайлбарлахдаа, тэднийг тайван замаар жагсагчдыг баривчилдаггүй гэдгээ онцолсон байна. Хуэртыг шүүхийн зөвшөөрөлтэй нэгжлэгт саад учруулсан хэргээр буруутгасан бөгөөд тэрээр шүүхээс тогтоосон нөхцөлүүдийг нэг жилийн турш биелүүлсэн тул ирэх сарын эцэс гэхэд хэргийг бүрмөсөн хаахаар төлөвлөж байгаа ажээ.

Federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss charges against a prominent labor union leader who was arrested during protests against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in California.
The development marks a significant moment in a series of cases related to the administration’s policies.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles filed a motion on Monday to drop its case against David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union California.

The union represents over 750,000 members, including janitors, security officers, and other workers across the state.
Huerta’s legal team, Abbe D. Lowell and Marilyn Bednarski, asserted in a statement, “We said from the outset that this prosecution had no legal basis.”
They further contended, “This case, like others, sought to silence criticism of the administration’s improper immigration actions. Today’s filing is proof that David and other critics will not be silenced.”

This dismissal represents the latest instance of a case faltering within the Justice Department’s efforts to prosecute individuals accused of assaulting or hindering federal officers while demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
Conversely, the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles stated that its department does not arrest individuals for peaceful protest.
In a statement, the office clarified that Huerta was charged with interfering with a judicial search warrant and has since complied with his bond terms for over a year.

“Pursuant to an agreement entered into with our office, if Mr. Huerta continues to comply with his pretrial release terms, we expect the criminal case against him to be fully dismissed by the end of next month,” the statement read.

Huerta’s arrest occurred in June 2025 during a protest outside a Los Angeles business where federal agents were investigating suspected immigration violations. His detention sparked rallies nationwide, with union leaders and immigrant advocates demanding his release. Huerta subsequently became a public face of the resistance against the Republican president’s push to increase immigration arrests.
Initially, federal prosecutors charged Huerta with felony obstruction, a charge later reduced to a misdemeanor in October before the recent motion for dismissal.
Huerta boasts a career spanning more than two decades with the SEIU, having been elected president of SEIU California in 2022. His dedication to immigrant integration programs, including English classes for union members, earned him recognition during the Obama administration.
