US EditionICE Attorney: 'This Job Sucks'
- On Tuesday, DOJ attorney Julie Le told a federal court she is overwhelmed by legal challenges from Operation Metro Surge, Fox 9 reports.
- Operation Metro Surge overwhelmed local logistics and ICE's readiness, with the U.S. Attorney's Office accepting volunteers like Le last month amid rising habeas petitions.
- According to Fox 9 Minneapolis, Le asked the judge, `I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep` and said `I am here to make sure the agency understands how important it is to comply with court orders`.
- Judge Blackwell ordered a show-cause hearing after finding ignored orders in 5 Habeas cases and warned detainees without criminal records were wrongfully held despite release orders.
- While Le said new procedures are being implemented to ensure ICE compliance, she called it like "pulling teeth" requiring nonstop work, while Tom Homan suggested reducing street presence in Minneapolis and Kristi Noem said ICE agents would wear body cams.
