Federal judge drops contempt charge against ICE agent in Boston arrest

A federal judge dismissed a contempt case against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent following a controversial arrest in Boston. Federal agents arrested Wilson Martell-Lebron in March as he was leaving court.

U.S. District Judge William Young dismissed the case after Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell agreed with U.S. Attorney Leah Foley to vacate the contempt order.

U.S. Attorney Leah Foley stated there was no legal basis to hold federal officers in contempt for their duties.
