LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- California union leader David Huerta has been released from federal custody on a $50,000 bond.
Huerta was arrested Friday while protesting immigration raids in Los Angeles. He's the president of SEIU California, a powerful labor union.
His arrest has become a rallying cry for union members nationwide and Democratic politicians who have called for his release.
His release Monday came as marchers were moving through downtown after a rally by the SEIU.
Hundreds if not thousands of people have gathered for a rally at Gloria Molina Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles, where civil rights and labor leaders are demanding the release of union leader David Huerta from federal detention after he was arrested during an immigration enforcement action on Friday. Huerta is due in court at the Roybal Federal Building at 1:30 p.m. for a bond hearing.
The rally was scheduled for noon, but the large crowd was already growing at 11 a.m. Many demonstrators had flags and signs.

At least he was forced to cool his heels in jail for the weekend. That was more than I expected.
He might beat the rap, but he won’t beat the ride.
Those darn South East Illinois University presidents. :)
they are charging him with conspiracy, and that is a federal charge.
This guy is going to spend HARD TIME in jail
No liberal local judge or prosecutor is going to let him off the hook on federal charges.
California union leader David Huerta should have been sent to Gitmo where he could tell Mr. Waterboard everything he has ever known.
Should have been a million dollar bond.
“Many demonstrators had flags...”
I’m taking bets on which flags.
And there are people on THIS SITE that still support labor unions.
Observation reveals the flags of "Palestine" and Mexico.
He’s well and truly ******.
The Feds have something like a 98% conviction rate.

I just watched several minutes.
* Mexico (most)
* Puerto Rico
* Honduraas
“Huerta was arrested Friday while protesting immigration raids in Los Angeles.”
There’s something missing from this sentence....hmmm... What could it be? Oh yeah, what are the charges?
I wonder why the charges are not important to the author?
Where is the SEIU BIG SHOT FATHER of the MURDERER of the 2 Jewish kids in DC?? He was invited by the DEMOCRATS to be at Trump’s SOTU speech!!!
Why would a US union president put their freedom on the line for illegals who cannot be in his union?
I am not convinced that rank and file SEIU members want open borders and rampant illegal immigration.
SEIU WAS STARTED AS A JANITOR UNION.
MOSTLY ILLEGALS FROM THE FIRST DAY.
All the usual suspects ...
Without the SEIU the 1.3 million dollar leukemia treatment and bone marrow transplant I am currently undergoing would not be 100 percent covered.
I am so grateful.
Without the SEIU funding the Democrats, Trump would likely have 15 more GOP seats in the House and several more in the Senate.
I appreciate the SEIU for personal reasons. Guess I’m just selfish that way.
