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.

I wonder if that's at least part of what is being gunned for. Since if they're attacked while deporting someone, it can then be spun into more anti-immigrant sentiment, pushing for more stringent deportations, because they're violent, and even attacked the authorities.
