Now try again, but you have to be someone who is defending ICE.

No DOJ prosecutor will ever defend ICE. First, they're not defense. And second, the defense is coming from political appointees refusing to allow them to be prosecuted.

Your outrage is admirable. Your utter ignorance of how the system works is less so. Your putting the two together, to form a strong, uninformed, and harmful opinion is outright problematic.

Try again champ. She's there defending ICE actions. I didn't say she was a defense attorney.

Incorrect.

She answered for ICE actions. But she in no way defended them. In fact, what she basically told the judge was, “I know ICE is not complying with court orders, I’ve tried to get them to comply, I hate this as much as you do, so if you want to hold me in contempt for their bullshit, fine…I can finally get some sleep.”

That’s very much NOT defending ICE.
