https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/attorney-government-tells-judge-ice-case-job-sucks-rcna257349An attorney for the federal government expressed frustration at her job during an immigration hearing Tuesday in Minneapolis, where the Trump administration is carrying out a sweeping immigration enforcement operation.“The system sucks. This job sucks. I wish you could hold me in contempt so that I could get 24 hours of sleep,” said Julie Le, an attorney representing the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota, Lou Raguse of NBC affiliate KARE reported.Raguse, who was in the courtroom, reported that Le said it was like “pulling teeth” to get the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Justice Department to follow court orders.DHS, which oversees ICE, and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Le could not be reached for comment.She made the remarks after U.S. District Judge Jerry Blackwell asked the government to explain why it had not followed court orders in immigration proceedings, including not releasing several immigrant detainees he had ordered be let out, according to the court docket.Le told Blackwell that “it takes 10 emails from me for a release condition to be corrected. It takes me threatening to walk out for something else to be corrected,” KARE reported.
Le, who is listed as a DHS attorney in the Minnesota Judicial Branch database, also said she did not feel properly trained for the role she is trying to fill, KARE reported.Le has been assigned 88 cases in one month, according to a court docket.Multiple lawyers at the U.S. attorney’s office have departed over ethical concerns in recent weeks, people familiar with the matter told NBC News. Trump administration officials have been trying to surge resources into the district to fill the gaps.Ana H. Voss, Le’s co-counsel in Minneapolis, is among those who have given their notices of resignation, according to a person familiar with the matter. Voss did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Wednesday morning.Le’s remarks Tuesday come amid “Operation Metro Surge,” a sweeping immigration crackdown in Minnesota that has led to thousands of arrests since December. The enforcement operation in turn has led to mass protests in the city, where U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti were fatally shot by federal officers.Their killings and the response by some members of the Trump administration drew widespread condemnation, in addition to many Republicans calling for an independent investigation into Pretti's death. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that body cameras would go to immigration agents in Minneapolis.

>>1486610As a professional paper pusher in the feds this is most likely due to their HR getting gutted and support staff getting the fuck out of dodge. Even when they’re full manpower it can take a couple of months for health insurance to kick in and it can take just as long for additional payments to go through for bonuses, relocations, reimbursement etc. It’s funny that they’re whining though, welcome to federal service fuckers, nothing is easy and quick by design.
>>1486611Given this is trump, I wouldn't be shocked if he's stiffing them like he always does to his contractors.
Welcome to corporate-boomer management ma'am. Wagies know it well, and you work for Donald Trump, the President of The Unites States, be thankful he hired you to begin with
>>1486606what's she complaining about she's billed by hour
>>1486610Classic. Lure them in with lucrative sign-up bonuses and then just not pay them. The Russians do exactly the same thing to sucker mobiks.
>>1486617And ice is basically a bunch of invading faggots who really belong in prison, just like the invading faggots russia mobilized
>>1486612>federal money is "his" moneyThis is a many-edged sword, huh.
>>1486622have you seen trump's latest scheme to steal 10 billion taxpayer dollars by suing the IRS?It's absolutely on brand.
>>1486624Yeah, that is actually what I was thinking of.
>>1486625Which is why if the democrats run someone with balls, and trump's next coup doesn't end democracy as we know it.They'll invoke the emoluments clause and just seize all of trump's assists.
>>1486628It's that kind of shit that winds up making trump look like the stick-end of a big ass long-con though, oddly enough
>>1486616Massive overwork + she's probably dealing with constant demands to do shit that will get her disbarred. It's common for lawyers who work under Trump in any capacity, hence why he goes through so many of them.
>>1486610The ones in need of $ will leave and only the psychos will remain
>>1486650great super karen lawyer is mad she has too much work in this economy while the rest of mankind is struggling to hold a job.I hope she gets eaten by a shark
>>1486606Bitch sounds like she is crashing out
>>1486616lol no that's not how government employees work. They have to track their hours and meet a minimum number of hours but they don't get paid any extra for passing that. And the issue is she's representing an administration which continually ignores court orders
>>1486731>And the issue is she's representing an administration which continually ignores court ordersWhich isn't fun as a lawyer, because if the court start going after people they're going after the lawyer who did it and not the people who ordered it. Pick your poison; get fired for not doing Trump's shit, or get disbarred and never be able to work again for doing Trump's shit?
>>1486683>Le said it was like “pulling teeth” to get the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Justice Department to follow court orders.It sounds like she's mad that her boss is incompetent
>>1486683>Boss is overworking you with shit that's gonna show on your case record>Barraged by complaints every minute>Don't even get paid extra for this shit because you're a federal worker and not a paid-per-hour private lawyer
