A lawyer working with the Minnesota attorney’s office said she just wants some sleep, after working so hard to try to get ICE to follow court orders.
“I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep,” Le said. “The system sucks, this job sucks, I am trying with every breath I have to get you what I need.”

Even fascists need rest.
Le said that the government was “overwhelmed” by the legal challenges to Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, and that trying to get ICE to comply with court orders has required nonstop work for an office depleted by resignations.
Exactly the child rapist’s intent.
Le normally doesn’t work for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. She used to work as an attorney for ICE in immigration court, and last month volunteered to help prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office deal with the many habeas petitions from immigrants in ICE detention seeking their release.
Maybe don’t work for a criminal organization and volunteer for more?
I’m guessing, assuming the best intentions, she’s volunteering because otherwise the detainees would have no progress in their cases.
It’s not as if ICE is going to stop kidnapping people if they run out of lawyers.
Staying on and trying to make the system work sounds like the most moral option to me. It also sounds fruitless.
If she stays on and the federal court holds her in contempt and punishes her, maybe Donald will pardon her, so she still gets her money. So no, it’s not moral.
What could she do? She could say what exactly the feds are doing wrong, for example, with federal officers’ names and dates and details. Create the record. She could refuse to file motions supporting the feds. Then the people would win those uncontested cases. Those would be relatively moral. But she made it about herself, and that’s hogwash.
No but I was replying to her complaining that she found the job terrible and tiring: she kinda signed up for it. So ya know… Cry me a fucking river…
Ah; but what she wants to do is be found in contempt, so all the immigrants go free and ICE stays tied up in court. It’s an interesting strategy.
So quit the job or quit your bitching. You’re working for fascists and deserve to suffer by doing it.
No, they need to stay inside the system and dismantle it from within.
Rip out the organs of the capitalist beast she’s within, and gnaw at the heart of corruption.
Blackwell said that he called the hearing to stress that ICE and other government agencies are not above the law.
They’re not? Could have fooled me.
Sucks to be on the sucky side
Should have joined your fellows that resigned
Good
This is FAKE News! If she DIDNT want to Defend People who FINGER BLAST CHILDREN Before auctioning them to Rich Men she would have Resigned!
