A University of Texas at San Antonio faculty member was arrested Tuesday at its main campus, a university spokesperson confirmed to KSAT.
The university confirmed the arrest is not related to immigration enforcement. However, UTSA said the faculty member was arrested in connection with a “criminal investigation” unrelated to the university.
At this time, it is unclear what led up to the faculty member’s arrest or the nature of the alleged “criminal investigation.”
“We’d refer you to the FBI for information,” the UTSA spokesperson told KSAT, in part.
An FBI spokesperson sent KSAT the following statement on Tuesday:
“I can confirm that the FBI, with the assistance of UTSA Police Department, executed court authorized law enforcement activity at that location today. This matter was not an immigration-related operation. Please contact the U.S. Attorney’s Office for additional information.”
KSAT has reached out to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
This is a developing story. Check back for more details.
