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.

    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.
