On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish says that David Huerta, the president of the SEIU union's California branch, was arrested for "rallying" anti-ICE protesters. The allegation is that Huerta blocked ICE from entering an establishment accused of hiring illegal aliens, and pushed an ICE officer who tried to remove him. A former federal prosecutor suggests that the arrest of Huerta could have constituted "weaponization" of the law. Huerta plays the martyr card, telling a crowd he is ready to take on the "journey" of whatever is in store for him.
