In Woodin's book, Lemma 5.100 asserts that if $MA_{\omega_1}$ holds and there is an $\omega_2$-saturated ideal $I$ on $\omega_1$, then $\mathcal P(\omega_1)/I$ is a rigid boolean algebra, meaning it has no nontrivial automorphisms. He states that this is well-known, so my question is, where else does it appear in the literature? I would like to find a different proof.

rigidity of $\mathcal P(\omega_1) / NS$ under MA

In Woodin's book, Lemma 5.100 asserts that if $MA_{\omega_1}$ holds and there is an $\omega_2$-saturated ideal $I$ on $\omega_1$, then $\mathcal P(\omega_1)/I$ is a rigid boolean algebra, meaning it has no nontrivial automorphisms.
