'This job sucks': Trump DOJ official slams her bosses in court

Fox 9 Minneapolis correspondent Paul Blume is now reporting that Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney Julie Le appears to have had enough of her bosses.

"The system sucks, this job sucks," Blume tweeted, quoting Le. Her answer came in response to U.S. District Judge Jerry Blackwell (an appointee of former President Joe Biden) pressing the DOJ attorney on why so many federal court orders were being ignored by her superiors.

Blume reports that Judge Blackwell had ordered a show cause hearing (which determines whether a party should be held in contempt of court) because “he was frustrated that in 5 Habeas [corpus] cases he was presiding over, he felt his orders were being ignored, leaving immigrant detainees unconstitutionally locked up for days.”

Le admitted in court Tuesday that the government is "overwhelmed by the number of legal challenges arising from the Trump administration's Operation Metro Surge, per Fox 9's reporting.

"I am here to make sure the agency understands how important it is to comply with court orders," said Le, who Fox 9 reports “became visibly emotional” during the court hearing.

While Le said procedures are being implemented to ensure U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement complies with court orders moving forward, she admitted it has been like “pulling teeth and has required non-stop work in an already depleted office.”

"I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep," Le said. "… I am trying with every breath I have to get you what I need."

"We have no guidance or direction on what we need to do," Le also told the court.

Blackwell appeared unsympathetic to Le’s plight and the self-admitted disorganization of President Donald Trump’s DOJ.

"Some of this is of your own making because of non-compliance with orders," Blackwell told Le, according to Fox 9. Blackwell also expressed frustration that people with no criminal records are being wrongfully detained even after judges have ordered their immediate release.

Fox 9 reports Le volunteered to help the U.S. Attorney’s Office last month as habeas petitions began to “flood” into federal court. She previously worked as an attorney for ICE in immigration court.
