Julie Le Challenges Ilhan Omar's Congressional Seat

Julie Le, a former Department of Homeland Security lawyer who was fired after telling a judge her job "sucks," announced she will run in the Aug. 11 Democratic primary to challenge Rep. Ilhan Omar. Le, 47, served as assistant chief counsel representing ICE and says she seeks legislative authority to pursue immigration reform, education funding and healthcare access. The campaign follows her viral courtroom outburst last month.
