Kamlager-Dove Statement on Brutal Arrest of SEIU-USWW President

LOS ANGELES — Today, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove released the statement below following the brutal arrest of SEIU-USWW President Huerta at the Roybal Federal Building:

"I'm outraged by DHS' violent arrest of SEIU-USWW President David Huerta at the Roybal Federal Building in Los Angeles.

"Huerta was tased and brutalized for attempting to visit his union members—asylum applicants going through the immigration process legally who have been unjustly, indefinitely detained and are being held in inhumane conditions.

"These actions, including today's ICE raids in LA, are not about targeting criminals. They're about terrorizing immigrant communities—and I won't stand for it.

I'm demanding answers from DHS. They will not deny this Member of Congress the right to her Constitutionally-mandated oversight duties."
