An attorney for the federal government expressed frustration at her job during an immigration hearing Tuesday in Minneapolis, where the Trump administration is carrying out a sweeping immigration enforcement operation.

“The system sucks. This job sucks. I wish you could hold me in contempt so that I could get 24 hours of sleep,” said Julie Le, an attorney representing the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota, Lou Raguse of NBC affiliate KARE reported.

Raguse, who was in the courtroom, reported that Le said it was like “pulling teeth” to get the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Justice Department to follow court orders.

DHS, which oversees ICE, and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Le could not be reached for comment.

She made the remarks after U.S. District Judge Jerry Blackwell asked the government to explain why it had not followed court orders in immigration proceedings, including not releasing several immigrant detainees he had ordered be let out, according to the court docket.

Le told Blackwell that “it takes 10 emails from me for a release condition to be corrected. It takes me threatening to walk out for something else to be corrected,” KARE reported.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A man sprayed an unknown substance on U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar before being tackled to the ground Tuesday during a town hall she was hosting in Minneapolis, where tensions over federal immigration enforcement have come to a head after agents fatally shot an intensive care nurse and a mother of three this month.

The audience cheered as the man, who was wearing a black jacket, was pinned down and his arms were tied behind his back. In video of the incident, someone in the crowd can be heard saying, “Oh my god, he sprayed something on her.” Omar continued the town hall after the man was ushered out of the room.

Just before that Omar called for the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign. “ICE cannot be reformed,” she said.

Minneapolis police did not immediately respond to a phone call and email message seeking information on the incident and whether anyone was arrested.

The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Tuesday night.

President Donald Trump has frequently criticized the congresswoman and has stepped up verbal attacks on her in recent months as he turned his focus on Minneapolis.

During a Cabinet meeting in December, he called her “garbage” and added that “her friends are garbage.”

Do you think she’s right?

Don Lemon, a disgraced former CNN anchor, was arrested Thursday night in Los Angeles, according to news reports.

Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement released Friday morning:

Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy award. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.

He was arrested based on a law the democrats put in 30+ years ago to protect abortion clinics. How sweet it is.....

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has determined that the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, should close for about two years.

Trump, who wrote on Truth Social that the decision is “totally subject” to approval by his handpicked board, said that the center will close on July 4 and that “financing is completed, and fully in place.” Trump did not elaborate on where the funding came from. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on questions about the funding.

Trump added that the decision was made based on a review that involved “Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants,” who were weighing construction with closure and re-opening or partial construction while entertainment operations continued.

A spokesperson for the Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Trump’s announcement, what the center’s board thinks of the issue or what would happen to the center’s existing programming.

Trump said that the closure will “produce a much faster and higher quality result,” that the Kennedy Center can be “the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind” and that there will be a “Grand Reopening” after the renovation.

He called the Kennedy Center — where the premiere of first lady Melania Trump's documentary was held last week — “tired, broken, and dilapidated,” adding that it “has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years.”

Analysis finds most campaign promises have not been met, which helps explain the president's growing unpopularity.

The New York Times used data to look at eight sectors.

Among the findings:

- Grocery prices, on balance, have increased. Trump said they’d drop if he was elected.

- Gas prices have dropped, but not as steeply as Trump promised on the campaign trail.

- The cost of electricity has increased. Trump said he’d cut prices in half during his first year in office.

- Manufacturing jobs have declined and wage growth in that sector has slowed. The auto industry has been especially hard hit.

But wait, there’s more.

The value of the U.S. dollar has dropped, no small consideration for those of us living in a border town. And the U.S. trade deficit surged in November.

There’s one economic indicator that is way up, however. The personal wealth of the Trump family. Over the past year it has jumped by $1.4 billion. Here’s the story and, better yet, a video short that lays everything out.

A final word on Trump, courtesy of a round table discussion in The Times in which columnist David French made this observation:

"The Trump administration breaks the law, and also ruthlessly exploits all the immunities it’s granted by law. The situation is unsustainable for a constitutional republic."

It’s little wonder Trump’s standing with the public continues to worsen. The latest polling by the Pew Research Center found 61 percent disapprove of the job he’s doing vs. 37 percent who approve.
