Seattle protest at City Hall: California union president's arrest sparks action
A protest took place outside Seattle City Hall on Monday in response to the arrest of David Huerta, president of California’s Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Huerta was arrested last week for allegedly conspiring to impede an officer during a demonstration, according to The Associated Press.
KIRO Newsradio was on the scene and provided details about what happened throughout the protest.

SEIU protest at Seattle City Hall
“There are several hundred protesters here after marching a few blocks from the SEIU headquarters, chanting ‘No hate, no fear. Immigrants are welcome here,'” KIRO Newsradio reporter James Lynch said.
The protesters wanted SEIU president David Huerta released and all charges dropped. The protesters also wanted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stand down.
