Following this decision, the judge initiated the contempt charge against Sullivan, which may lead Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden to reassess the case and determine if any charges should be filed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s reprehensible,\u201d remarked Ryan Sullivan, one of Martell-Lebron\u2019s attorneys. \u201cLaw enforcement officials have a duty to ensure justice is served. Prosecutors are tasked with the same responsibility. In my view, there is no greater injustice than the government arresting an individual without proper identification and obstructing their right to a jury trial as guaranteed by the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A judge in Boston has determined that a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent is in contempt after detaining a suspect during his trial.
