一名被派往明尼苏达州协助处理特朗普政府在双城实施移民打击行动的移民和海关执法局（ICE）律师，在向法官表示因工作负担过重且政府明显无法遵守法院命令而认为这份工作“糟糕”后，已被调离其职位。
据知情人士透露，该律师朱莉·勒（Julie Le）已被调回ICE的原岗位。
在周二与联邦法官的一次极为坦率的交流中，勒被要求解释政府为何未能及时遵守一系列源自她所处理移民案件的法院命令。她承认，政府在当地缺乏足够的律师来跟上“地铁行动”（Operation Metro Surge）的进度，而试图修正错误就像“拔牙一样困难”。
“他们不堪重负，需要帮助，所以，我，我不得不说，我愚蠢地（主动）说了这些，”她告诉美国联邦地区法官杰里·布莱克韦尔（Jerry Blackwell）。法官正以多次违反其在移民案件中发布的命令为由，威胁将她和另一名律师视为藐视法庭。
“有时候我希望你直接判我藐视法庭，法官大人，这样我就能有整整24小时的睡眠时间。我日夜工作，只是因为还有人被关押在那里，”勒说。
“而且，是的，目前的程序确实很糟糕。我正在努力改进，”她继续说道，“我在这里，法官大人。你想让我做什么？这个系统很糟糕。这份工作很糟糕。我正用尽每一口气来确保我能满足你的要求。”
自打击行动开始以来，勒和其他在明尼苏达州处理移民案件的政府律师，因案件中出现的一系列失误，正面临当地法官的严密审查。上周，该州联邦初审法院的首席法官表示，ICE“在2026年1月可能违反的法院命令数量超过了某些联邦机构在其整个存续期间违反的命令数量”，并特别指出近几周有近100项法院命令被违反。
这些命令包括要求政府立即释放移民拘留者，而法官们认定这些移民在明尼苏达州或得克萨斯州被非法拘留——他们中的许多人是在双城被捕后被空运到得州的。包括布莱克韦尔在内的法官们还对ICE在一些移民身上施加的释放条件感到不满，因为法院并未明确允许该机构制定此类条件。
“我需要发10封电子邮件才能纠正一个释放条件，”勒周二告诉布莱克韦尔，“我需要两次升级并威胁要离职，才能让问题得到纠正。”
尽管布莱克韦尔表示他认为勒和司法部律师安娜·沃斯（Ana Voss，同样面临藐视法庭的威胁）“是出于善意并在困难环境下工作”，但他警告他们，“法院命令不是咨询性的，也不是有条件的。”
“任何机构都不能将其视为可选的，而自行决定如何或是否遵守法院命令，”法官说。
布莱克韦尔补充道：“认为拘留人数过多、案件过多、截止日期紧迫，且没有足够基础设施来应对，这不能成为继续拘留的理由。如果有什么的话，这应该是一个警示信号。”

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorney detailed to Minnesota to help handle the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities has been removed from her post after telling a judge that the job “sucks” because of the crushing workload and the government’s apparent inability to comply with court orders.
The attorney, Julie Le, was sent back to her job at ICE, according to a source familiar with the matter.
In an extraordinarily candid exchange with a federal judge on Tuesday, Le, who had been asked to explain why the administration was not promptly complying with a slew of court orders stemming from immigration cases she’s handling, admitted that the government did not have enough lawyers on the ground to adequately keep up with Operation Metro Surge and that trying to get errors fixed is like “pulling teeth.”

“They are overwhelmed and they need help, so I, I have to say, stupidly (volunteered),” she told US District Judge Jerry Blackwell, who is threatening to hold her and another lawyer in contempt for repeated violations of orders he’s issued in immigration cases.
“Sometime I wish you would just hold me in contempt, your honor, so that I can have a full 24 hours of sleep. I work days and night just because people (are) still in there,” Le said.
“And, yes, procedure in place right now sucks. I’m trying to fix it,” she continued. “I am here with you, your honor. What do you want me to do? The system sucks. This job sucks. And I am trying every breath that I have so that I can get you what you need.”
Le and the other administration lawyers working on immigration cases in Minnesota since the crackdown began have been facing intense scrutiny from the judges there over a slew of missteps in the cases. Last week, the chief judge of the state’s federal trial-level court said ICE “has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence” and specifically called out nearly 100 court orders he said had been violated in recent weeks.
Among those orders are ones requiring the government to immediately release immigrant detainees whom judges determined were being held unlawfully in Minnesota or Texas, where many of them were flown after being arrested in the Twin Cities. Judges, including Blackwell, were also frustrated by release conditions ICE had imposed on some immigrants since the court had not specifically allowed the agency to fashion such conditions.
“It takes 10 e-mails to get a release condition to be corrected,” Le told Blackwell on Tuesday. “It take two escalation and a threat that I will walk out for that to be corrected.”
Though Blackwell said he thought Le and Justice Department attorney Ana Voss, who is also facing a contempt threat, were “working in good faith and under difficult circumstances,” he warned them that “a court order is not advisory and it is not conditional.”
“It is not something that any agency can treat as optional while it decides how or whether to comply with the court order,” the judge said.
“Having what you feel are too many detainees, too many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning sign,” Blackwell added.
