ICE Attorney Begs Judge to Hold Her in Contempt: 'This Job Sucks'

The visibly emotional attorney said it’s been a nightmare trying to get ICE to obey court orders.

An attorney for Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice gave a brutally honest response when a federal judge in Minnesota demanded to know why Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were ignoring court orders.

“The system sucks. This job sucks. I wish you could hold me in contempt so that I could get 24 hours of sleep,” replied Julie Le, who works for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, a reporter with local NBC affiliate KARE 11 reported.

Le previously worked as an attorney representing ICE in immigration court and had recently volunteered to help the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota respond to a flood of habeas corpus petitions stemming from President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement operation in the state, Fox 9 reported.

A source familiar with the matter told NBC News she had been removed from her detail following her comments.
