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.
NO TRIAL FOR YOU.
Why didn’t the bailiff stop the kidnapping? Isn’t he armed for this reason?
The headline is misleading, he was picked up as he left the building his trial was continuing to the next day.
It was right outside the courtroom. Since there are breaks and sometimes multi day trials, there are ways a defendant could be “in the middle of a trial” and not be in the actual courtroom, where the bailiff would be.
You dropped this. Funny, this is the second one I’ve picked up today.
