DHS Attorney Julie Le

The Justice Department lawyer who melted down in federal court, said her job ‘sucks’ and asked the judge to hold her in contempt, has been fired.

In a shocking moment in federal court on Tuesday, Julie Le, a lawyer in the US Attorney’s Office for Minnesota, had an emotional break down over immigration cases and asked the judge to hold her in contempt.

US District Judge Jerry Blackwell, a Biden appointee, held a hearing and demanded to know why several of his immigration orders were supposedly being ignored by the Trump Administration.

Julie Le repeatedly begged Judge Blackwell to hold her in contempt and jail her so she could get some sleep.

“I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep,” Le said, according to Fox 9.

“The system sucks, this job sucks, I am trying with every breath I have to get you what I need,” the lawyer said.

CNN reported:

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorney detailed to Minnesota to help handle the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities has been removed from her post after telling a judge that the job “sucks” because of the crushing workload and the government’s apparent inability to comply with court orders.

The attorney, Julie Le, was sent back to her job at ICE, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Julie Le was previously appointed by Tim Walz to a Minnesota state education board in 2024.

Le quit last year to become a DHS prosecutor.
