A man named William Martell Lebron was taken into federal custody by ICE agents in the middle of his criminal trial, which led to a state judge in Boston dismissing the case due to prosecutorial misconduct. The judge also found a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in contempt of court. The defense attorney, Murat Erkan, accused the prosecutors of obstructing justice and alleged that there was a plan involving the state to deport Lebron. The Suffolk District Attorney’s Office expressed surprise and dismay at ICE’s actions, as they were in the middle of prosecuting Lebron for providing false information on a license application.
The district attorney’s office stated that they were not aware of any attempt to prevent Lebron from having a fair trial, and it was their intention to hold him accountable for the crimes alleged. However, Lebron’s lawyer claimed that prosecutors were aware of ICE’s plans to detain his client but did not inform him. ICE had reportedly stated that Lebron was a Dominican national using an alias. The judge ordered ICE to return Lebron to court for his trial on Monday. The situation raised concerns about interference with the judicial process and the rights of the accused to a fair trial.
