Daniel Ochoa de Olza, photographer, Madrid, for his excellent coverage of migrants climbing a wall and running as U.S. agents fired tear gas. While many people were raising their glasses to celebrate the New Year,some 150 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border tried to cross into the U.S.,where Border Patrol agents stood wearing camouflage and carrying assault-style riffles. Ochoa’s widely used photos captured the drama of the migrants,including children, running away from the gas.
Ochoa describes how he made the photos.
