A man, William Martell Lebron, was detained by ICE agents during his criminal trial for providing false information on a license application. The case was dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct, and a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was found in contempt of court. The Suffolk District Attorney’s Office expressed dismay over ICE’s actions, stating that they were surprised and instrumental in ensuring ethical prosecutions. They immediately contacted ICE to request Martell Lebron’s return to court and filed a motion demanding his appearance at trial. However, Martell Lebron’s lawyer alleged that prosecutors were aware of ICE’s plans to detain his client but did not inform him. ICE claimed that Martell Lebron is a Dominican national using an alias. The judge ordered ICE to return Martell Lebron to court for trial. The defense attorney called the incident obstruction of justice and accused the state of a plan to deport him, while the district attorney’s office denied any attempt to prevent Martell Lebron from having a fair trial. ICE has been reached out to for comment on the situation.
