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.

Martell-Lebron was, in fact, Juan Carlos Baez, 49, a Dominican national in the U.S. illegally since 2000

So even if you’re a legal non-Spanish person, they will give you a Spanish name and say you’re illegal

ICE told Newsweek

You left this important part of the quote. And no where in the article does it provide any proof of that claim, for anyone wondering.
