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.

    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 American person is ‘innocent until proven guilty’.

      It’s amazing how many people think you need to be a citizen of the US to have due process.
