Government lawyer who told judge 'this job sucks' sent back to DHS

A government attorney who told a federal judge this week that her job “sucks” and asked to be held in contempt so she “could get 24 hours of sleep” is no longer detailed to the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota.

Julie Le, a lawyer listed in public records as working for the Department of Homeland Security, had been temporarily assigned to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota to assist with immigration cases. An official familiar with the matter told a local NBC affiliate Wednesday that Le’s detail ended following those remarks she made during a court hearing in Minneapolis.
