- This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.
- Honestly, I just got out of a three hour trial this morning and I too want to sleep for 24 hours, so I can't blame AUSA Le
- I owe a massive hat-tip to @taylordahlin.com who sent this to me within minutes of it going up. A lot of local media are still on Twitter, so I appreciate her staying on that beat.
- Some people have questioned whether this is real. First, Blume is a legit reporter who's covering the courts in earnest. Second, there's a MN-barred attorney named Julie Le whose address is literally the Whipple Building. Another attorney confirmed to me she's a private attorney contracting with DOJ
- Local news is reporting that Le contracted with DOJ precisely because ICE is breaking the law so often and so seriously that DHS is being hammered with habeas petitions. Some people get what they deserve.
- Not a DOJ attorney but a former ICE attorney who volunteered to help just a MONTH ago and is already having a nervous breakdown. There are ethical considerations to quitting a case but it feels like begging the court to rule contempt because your client sucks does too. www.fox9.com/news/federal...
- As of January 15 in a habeas case, the government had submitted to the court “documents listing Julie Le as counsel of record,” even though she was apparently not “admitted to the bar of the U.S. District Court of Minnesota.” www.courtlistener.com/docket/72139...
- She was apparently admitted sometime between then and now ecf.mnd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/BarL...
- If this is her, she is a proud immigrant? www.ebbqlaw.com/julie-t-le/
