[ The Range [a Tucson Online News source] just learned that Tucson
immigrant rights activist Raul Ochoa was taken into custody today by
five U.S. Border Patrol and three Tucson Police Department officers.
Ochoa's friends and fellow activists are urging supporters to call
Border Patrol at 514-4700 to demand his release. The Range has calls to
Border Patrol and TPD to get more information on why Ochoa was arrested
and will post updates.
UPDATE: The Range talked to a public information officer with U.S.
Border Patrol. A statement will be released as soon as it is approved.
Immigrant rights organization Corazon de Tucson is also expected to
release a statement soon, too.
Ochoa was reportedly arrested after trying to intervene on behalf of a
father of five who was stopped by TPD. Although TPD has said in the
past that it doesn't call and will not Border Patrol, it in fact called
Border Patrol. A march is being planned downtown tomorrow at 4 p.m.
More details soon.
UPDATE: The Range just talked to Pastor Allison Harrington of the
Southside Presbyterian Church who provided some information on why
Ochoa was arrested today. Ochoa is a coordinator at the Southside
Worker Center located at the church.
The incident occurred near Ninth Avenue and 23rd Street. As we reported
earlier, Ochoa was trying to intervene on behalf of a father of five
who was stopped by TPD and Border Patrol was called to the scene.
Reportedly Ochoa laid under a Border Patrol vehicle. Border Patrol
responded by pepper spraying Ochoa before he was taken into custody.
Currently, attorney Isabel Garcia is still trying to locate Ochoa. ]
