“The system sucks. This job sucks,” Le told Blackwell. “I wish you would hold me in contempt so I would have a full 24 hours sleep,” the attorney added.

Edit: The attorney has now been fired

The job doesn't suck. Le liked being part of it before the court was being ignored.

The repeated dishonoring and disrespect for the US and state courts by DHS/ICE/CBP is the part that sucks.

Your bosses suck. Your bosses don't respect your education. They don't respect passing the bar. They don't respect all the work you did to get there. Say that out loud.

Resigning is for cowards:

Le said that she submitted her resignation, but ultimately chose to stay at the U.S. Attorney’s Office because no one could be found to replace her.

Le also said that after pushing through an order to release a juvenile from detention, she realized that she could affect positive change from the inside.

"Wait Julie, stop,” Le said. “You need to go back and get more people out. That’s why I’m still here. I’m here because I’m trying to make sure that the agency understands how important it is to comply with all the court orders.”

I'm glad she realized it's better to stay and do what she can than to give up
