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.

Without due process for everyone, no ~~American~~ person is 'innocent until proven guilty'.

FTFY

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

We are in agreement. Either everyone has the right to due process, or there is no due process at all.
