The Hill: Ex-Justice Department attorney who complained about ICE enforcement in court challenges Rep. Ilhan Omar

The former Justice Department attorney who complained to a federal judge about being overwhelmed by the immigration caseload is running for Congress. 

Julie Le is running as a Democrat to challenge incumbent Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). She lists immigration reform, education funding and expanded health care access as her top campaign priorities. 

"Le . . . said she would be a more moderate lawmaker than Omar, who has called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to The New York Times."

Lee left her DOJ job in February, after telling a U.S. district judge during a hearing that she wished he would hold her in contempt of court “so that I can have a full 24 hours of sleep. . . . This job sucks.”
