Attorneys for the Ontario office workers charged with assault of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers at their office say prosecutors do not have a case on Aug. 19.
Outside the Riverside District Court and immediately following their arraignment, Jose Ortega and Danielle Davila’s attorneys said that the anonymous ICE officers had no right to be in the Ontario Advanced Surgery Center, that the government will lose its case, and that the defendants would intervene again if needed.
“We got involved because you can’t be hitting and punching a person and say you’re law enforcement,” said Ortega.
“What they’re telling me is that they did the right thing, and if it happened again, they would do it again. They were in their rights, and did nothing wrong,” said Carlos Juarez, Ortega’s attorney.
