Federal prosecutors are dropping a criminal charge against labor leader David Huerta, according to reporting from both outlets. Huerta was arrested last summer in Los Angeles during a protest that took place in response to federal immigration enforcement actions. The arrest led to public demonstrations, with coverage noting that it helped spark a wave of protests against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Courthouse News reports that the U.S. Justice Department drops the charge, while The New York Times frames the case as one tied to broader immigration enforcement tensions and subsequent protests. The sources do not indicate that Huerta is found not responsible for any underlying conduct, but instead state that the specific criminal charge against him is being removed. The reporting also does not detail whether any other cases or charges remain pending. Overall, both accounts agree on the key timeline elements: Huerta’s arrest last summer in Los Angeles during the protest and the Justice Department’s decision to drop the criminal charge.
