A Boston judge has found ICE agent Brian Sullivan in contempt of court for arresting Wilson Martell-Lebron during his trial,
violating his right to due process. Martell-Lebron, accused of using false information on a driver’s license application, had his case dismissed after the arrest disrupted proceedings. The judge emphasized the seriousness of interfering with a defendant’s right to a fair trial. The incident has sparked legal and political tensions, particularly in Boston, a sanctuary city where cooperation with federal immigration authorities is limited. Martell-Lebron remains in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings.
