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 the message is … if you are contacted by any law or legal service in the US … hide and disappear, don’t take part in anything to do with government or law enforcement.
Great work America … a few more steps and it will become a completely lawless country.
🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀 always has been
lol … I never comment on emojis but these were funny
No way those denied a legal path will turn to organized crime. Unpossible!

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
That’s the thing people seem to miss (although they seem to be coming around a bit). What you did or how evil you are can only be determined by due process.

Yes. Without due process for everyone, no American is ‘innocent until proven guilty’. You are guilty until they decide otherwise.
Without due process for everyone, no
Americanperson is ‘innocent until proven guilty’.FTFY
It’s amazing how many people think you need to be a citizen of the US to have due process.
We are in agreement. Either everyone has the right to due process, or there is no due process at all.
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…
“You all could’ve picked me up on Saturday and thrown me on a plane, thinking I’m a member of Tren de Aragua and given me no chance to protest it,” the judge said.

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.
🤡
If there were stats on emoticon usage, this one has to have skyrocketed straight up.
Unlawful arrests lead to people fighting back, and officers getting hurt. Not a good direction to be going.
Ice officers deserve worse than just to be hurt tbf
IDK, the second half of that first sentence sounds like a good thing, and long overdue
Sure would suck if the ICE agent, Brian Sullivan, who was held in contempt by the judge and for whom a bench warrant was issued, was beaten with a bat until compliant with being arrested and dragged into custody. Would just be a travesty.
People fighting back vs. The police that has tanks… TiananMcDonals…
That’s some revolutionary war style tactics. Warfare has changed.
Even if you believe that horrible people don’t deserve due process, you cannot determine that without due process.
This feels like a gag out of Family Guy or South Park or something. Good thing people are protesting!
NO TRIAL FOR YOU.
Why didn’t the bailiff stop the kidnapping? Isn’t he armed for this reason?
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.
The headline is misleading, he was picked up as he left the building his trial was continuing to the next day.

What can be done?
We have tried nothing and already ran out of ideas.
Well at least we gave it our best
Police should probably be arresting kidnappers…
Literally 2nd amendment.
- If they don’t identify themselves: right to bear arms and self defense.
- If they do, they fit clearly under the “tyranny” part of the same amendment.
Martell-Lebron was, in fact, Juan Carlos Baez, 49, a Dominican national in the U.S. illegally since 2000
So even if you’re a legal non-Spanish person, they will give you a Spanish name and say you’re illegal
ICE told Newsweek
You left this important part of the quote. And no where in the article does it provide any proof of that claim, for anyone wondering.
Jack boot thugs
ICE is jerks.
