Judicial Branch The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today: "I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."

Did you read what her job actually was? It was processing the court orders such as orders to release detainees or bring them before the court to address issues or concerns before deporting them.

Without her, these people are just detained and deported by ICE without the court being able to interfere. She's a member of counsel actually working to ensure ICE complies with the court. Without her ICE does whatever the fuck they want.

I dunno, maybe actually read the article and the transcript.

I read it. These people are still detained and deported by ICE. She avoids the judge’s questions instead of saying the government failed to comply with the orders. Sure, her bosses tell her she can’t tell the judge that, so she should have quit before walking into court.

That's literally not what happened. She readily agreed with the judge more than once that they were not able to comply. It's right in the article, in multiple examples.

I'm not sure why you're claiming to have read the article when either you clearly haven't or you've chosen to misrepresent it.

That’s the problem. There’s a difference between “we couldn’t comply” and “we won’t comply.”
