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.

    Unironically. If I were in a situation like this, I don’t care about laws. I’d be defending my family with lethal force if needs be. It’s not terrorism. It’s loyalty to and protecting my family over my loyalty to the Crown. Easy choice. Defending your family is also “mega based and tradpilled”.

      Depending on where you are, laws will even protect you.

      In Indiana, our castle laws are pretty wide reaching. You are allowed to defend your property, person, and even other people (including strangers) with appropriate force (up to lethal force) from anyone. Including the police. Now of course, that won’t stop them from shooting back, but it’s within your legal right.

      Now, I am not a lawyer. But I did go through my state’s CCW course and I do quite a bit with my local Pink Pistol group so I have a decent grasp on the relevant laws. But do not use this comment as a legal defense haha

        Castle and stand your ground laws also apply to you shooting police who do not properly identify themselves. Even more applicable in this scenario.

          Also defending your own human rights in general. There is a human right to family autonomy. States are obligated to let you have your spouse there if they aren’t an actual risk.

          Yes, but how are you going to prove they didn’t ID themselves properly during your trial, when you don’t even get one? Checkmate ACLU lib-gards!!
