Federal authorities on Monday charged David Huerta, president of Service Employees International Union California, 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, had been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles since Friday and made his initial appearance in federal court Monday afternoon. He is facing a felony charge that carries up to six years in federal prison, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in L.A.
Huerta was released on a $50,000 appearance bond. As part of his conditions, he can’t knowingly be within 100 yards of federal agents or operations.
His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
