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.
Even if you believe that horrible people don’t deserve due process, you cannot determine that without due process.
Those Brownshirts BETTER be Careful! Otherwise the Judge will send a VERY STERN LETTER because that’s ALL Judges in the US do nowadays!
“I can’t believe that you could break the law like this, ICE, especially as law enforcement officers. Honestly, you should know better than to disappear political opponents of the President’s global policy, and people with tenuous residency status without so much as a hearing. I’m very disappointed in you, Mister.”

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.
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.
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.
So plain clothes guys can just abduct people in courtrooms now?
Yes but the judge will be MIFFED and do nothing.
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.
