Felony charges against two staff members from a San Bernardino County medical center have been dropped, federal prosecutors confirmed.

The charges, which also included interfering with immigration enforcement actions, stemmed from an incident on July 8, when two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained a man inside the Ontario Advanced Surgery Center. The U.S. Attorney's Office claimed the staff members Jose de Jesus Ortega and Danielle Nadine Davila, interfered.

Ortega and Davila were charged with assaulting a federal officer and conspiracy to prevent a federal officer from discharging their duties using force and intimidation.

On Tuesday morning at a news conference, Carlos Juarez, Ortega's attorney, announced that felony charges against the pair were dismissed.
