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.
So plain clothes guys can just abduct people in courtrooms now?
Yes but the judge will be MIFFED and do nothing.
All of America ran on the assumption that people played along with the system and trump et al. Called the bluff by openly and shamelessly breaking the rules and watching as nothing was done about it. First the rules of decorum, then the law once they normalized it.
Until that judge gets detained for having a foreign sounding name.
Funny you should put it like that…
They didn’t quote the judge but he is fucking torqued off.
The ice agents didn’t kick open the door walk over to the defendant and drag him out all while the judge was banging his gavel. They waited outside the courthouse and picked him up there.
