National Nurses United continues to stand in solidarity with our union brother, David Huerta, president of Service Employees and International Workers West, and call for the federal government to drop all charges against Huerta. Huerta was hurt, arrested, and detained in Los Angeles in June while exercising his First Amendment-protected rights to observe and document immigration enforcement activity.

The government recently backpedaled the original felony charges it filed against Huerta to a misdemeanor, showing it had overstepped its prosecution against him.

Nurses condemn ICE terrorist kidnappings of our immigrant communities and we applaud Huerta for bravely putting his own body on the line while bearing witness to ICE attacks.

National Nurses United is the largest and fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in the United States with more than 225,000 members nationwide. NNU affiliates include California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, DC Nurses Association, Michigan Nurses Association, Minnesota Nurses Association, and New York State Nurses Association.
