A federal grand jury indicted two employees at an Ontario surgery center on charges of assaulting, resisting and impeding U.S. immigration officers during an attempted detention. The defendants are Jose de Jesus Ortega, 38, of Highland, and Danielle Nadine Davila, 33, of Corona; the charge is a felony and a trial date is scheduled for Oct. 6. Court documents state that on July 8 ICE officers in government-issued equipment followed a truck into the surgery center parking lot; three men exited, two ran away and one was detained near the entrance and struggled with an officer. A medical staffer helped the landscaper off the ground and pulled him into the facility while an ICE agent gave chase. The grand jury indictment indicates probable cause to proceed to trial.
A federal grand jury has indicted two employees at a Ontario surgery center on charges of assaulting and interfering with U.S. immigration officers trying to detain landscapers who ran into the facility to escape the authorities. Jose de Jesus Ortega, 38, of Highland and Danielle Nadine Davila, 33, of Corona have been charged with assaulting, resisting and impeding a federal officer, a felony, according to a news release Wednesday from the U.S. attorney's office for the Central District of California.
According to court documents, two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were conducting raids in Ontario on July 8 while wearing government-issued equipment, including law enforcement vests, the release states. The agents followed a truck with three men inside and approached them after the men exited the truck in the parking lot of the surgery center, according to the release.
