An attorney who made headlines when she complained to a judge in court about working for the Department of Homeland Security has filed to run against Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
Julie Le announced a campaign for Minnesota's fifth district just weeks after being fired from the Justice Dept. over her exasperated comments before a judge.
Le told U.S. District Judge Jerry Blackwell, "The system sucks," and, "This job sucks," in a Minnesota courtroom on February 3. According to FOX 9, Le was an ICE attorney who had "volunteered" to work with the U.S. attorney's office the month before.
Le asked the judge to hold her in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. She indicated that attorneys were overwhelmed from dealing with court procedures related to Operation Metro Surge from the Trump administration.
