US EditionBoston Judge Holds ICE Agent in Contempt Over Mid-Trial Immigrant Detention
- On Monday, a judge at Boston Municipal Court held an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in contempt for actions related to an arrest that occurred last week.
- The contempt charge stems from accusations that the ICE agent, along with two Massachusetts State Police troopers, obstructed justice during the middle of a trial where Wilson Martell-Lebron was accused of trying to obtain a license illegally.
- Wilson Martell-Lebron, an undocumented immigrant from the Dominican Republic residing in Saugus, was arrested by ICE agents outside the courthouse after his trial began, leading to his detainment and the dismissal of local charges against him.
- Judge Mark Summerville stated, "ICE agent Brian Sullivan, I find that he is in contempt of court," and also alleged that Sullivan conspired to take Martell-Lebron into custody and prevent his return to court, while a State Police spokesman stated troopers "responded appropriately by neither assisting nor obstructing the federal action."
- Judge Summerville dismissed the case against Martell-Lebron citing prosecutorial misconduct, stating it is now a federal court issue, and Martell-Lebron's attorney plans to appeal to a federal judge, while the Suffolk County District Attorney's office denies any misconduct and ICE states that Martell-Lebron is a Dominican national using an alias.
