Judge Blackwell

I'm trying to fix it.

As you can see, the email that I sent to you, it has been improving, a great improvement.

And last night I had to stay up until 2.35 a.m.

just to get these documents ready for you.

I can't say it's a waste of my time, but I could have sent so many more emails and get so many more people ready to be released.

And I am here with you, Your Honor.

What do you want me to do?

The system sucks.

This job sucks.

And I am trying every breath that I have so that I can get you what you need.

Judge Blackwell, what we really want is simply compliance, because on the other side of this is somebody who should not have been arrested in some instances in the first place, who is being held in jail or put in shackles for days, if not a week plus, after they've been ordered released.

That's my concern, upholding the rule of law and the constitutional rights of all concerned.

I hear the concerns about all the energy that this is causing the DOJ to expend, but with respect, some of it is of your own making by not complying with orders.

Do you understand that?

Ms.

Lee, I do, and I share the same concern with you, Your Honor.

I am not white, as you can see, and my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too, so I share the same concern.

Our email just never stops.

And as you can see, I would love to undo all of this stuff because no one wants to be in jail.

And actually, honestly, you know, being in jail a day to catch up with sleep is not bad right now with all the hours I have to put into this job.
