David Huerta, president of Service Employees International Union California, was released from custody after Federal authorities on Monday charged him in a criminal complaint with conspiracy to impede an officer in connection with his alleged actions during an immigration enforcement raid last week.

Huerta, 58, has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles since Friday.

It makes me think way less of them as a person when I find that out.

Waste of time even talking or communicating with them. Nazi Party members as far as I'm concerned.

Some parts of it, you might as well be in Alabama or Arkansas. Huntington Beach is worse than Miami - Dade County for being ultra MAGA.

Were all indoctrinated by their late father to believe that Democrats take your money and give it to "black people". He had a 6th grade education.
