She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep.

The best line in the story.

She could get that needed rest.

And call herself a patriot.

"Le acknowledged that many at the DHS did not understand the seriousness of an order from a federal judge."

Trump has put people in charge of law enforcement who do not understand the US justice system. They only understand taking orders from Dictator Don.

"Le also told the court that she had previously submitted her resignation...She ultimately ended up staying in the role because there was no one to replace her."

It used to be that working for the DoJ was a prestigious job. Not anymore. Lawyers are fleeing the agency and they can't find qualified attorneys to replace them.
A lot of criminals are going to avoid prosecution because Trump has destroyed the effectiveness and reputation of the DoJ.
