Federal attorney who complained 'this job sucks' is running for Congress against Rep. Ilhan Omar [View all]

The former federal attorney who proclaimed “this job sucks” in a courtroom amid Operation Metro Surge is now running for Congress as a Democrat.

Julie Le made national headlines for her Feb. 3 outburst before U.S. District Judge Jerry Blackwell, who was demanding answers as to why the federal government missed deadlines to release five immigrants from custody.

Le, who was working for the U.S. Attorney’s Office at the time, explained that she and her coworkers had been working around the clock to address a wave of immigration cases filed in Minnesota since the start of Operation Metro Surge.

“What do you want me to do? The system sucks. This job sucks,” Le said, according to a court transcript.

She said she had “stupidly” volunteered to join the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, and she had started Jan. 5, to help handle petitions challenging immigrant detentions.
