Plainclothes agents swooped in and took Wilson Martell-Lebron outside a courthouse in Boston on Thursday.

Federal immigration agents arrested an immigrant as he was leaving court on the first day of his trial in Massachusetts on Thursday, with a judge now holding one agent in contempt for disrupting due process.

Plainclothes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents showed up at the court in Boston and took Wilson Martell-Lebron without prior notice, according to The Boston Globe.

    Copied my comment from an earlier link to this article:

    So the guy who got picked up is currently detained without charge, after having his original charges dismissed. Brian Sullivan, the ICE agent, was held in contempt, which might turn into a charge, and is currently free.

    Certainly sounds like Brian Sullivan is enjoying his due process while denying others theirs.

      I don’t care how evil you are what you did. You deserve due process as that is a basic human right.

      We need rule of law especially now more than ever
