Massachusetts judge charges ICE agent with contempt of court

Boston Municipal Court Judge Mark Summerville said it was "disturbing" to see ICE take a defendant into custody while he was still standing trial.

Boston Municipal Court Judge Mark Summerville dismissed the case against a Dominican man and held an ICE agent in contempt of court on Monday.

Summerville also criticized assistant district attorneys from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office and ordered them to investigate Sullivan.
