When Due Process Freezes Over – ICE Snatches a Defendant Mid-Trial
What happens when the government literally rips your client away in the middle of a jury trial?
Defense attorney Murat Erkan shares one of the most shocking stories we've heard: his client was abducted by ICE agents during trial, depriving him of his right to a jury trial and due process. The prosecution pushed forward, the judge let it happen, and the system showed just how cold it can be.
This case is a sobering reminder that constitutional rights aren't always protected — and that sometimes defenders are fighting not just the charges, but the very machinery of the state.
