An angry judge in Boston is holding a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in contempt after he detained a suspect while the man was on trial.
ICE agent Brian Sullivan detained Wilson Martell-Lebron last week as he was leaving court. But a Boston Municipal Court judge issued a ruling Monday against Sullivan, arguing that he had deprived Martell-Lebron of his rights to due process and a fair trial by taking him into custody.
I didn’t see anything in the article about the agent being held (locked up) in contempt of court. Judges are allowed to do that. This seems to have been a weaker meaning of “held”, where the person is potentially in legal trouble but meanwhile is still at large.
Agreed. Shit won’t matter to them until they’re locked up, and even then I don’t think anything will change until those in charge are.
