No charges filed against Pasadena job center director who followed ICE vehicle

The city has declined to file charges against an immigrant-labor advocate who police arrested last month after he followed a suspected U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle.

“Based on a review of the police report and relevant case law, the Pasadena City Prosecutor’s Office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt and therefore the decision was made not to file the case,” said Lisa Derderian, a spokeswoman for the city.

Jose Madera was notified last week, she said.
